Luke will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 22 or more. What is the lowest score Luke must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 22
= 66
To find the lowest score that Luke must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize, the other 2 games must have the highest scores possible.
Total score for the two highest scores
= 23 + 22
= 45
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 66 - 45
= 21
Answer(s): 21
