A player has to play a total of five games in Round 3 of a competition. The scores for Valen's first four games are shown. Valen will qualify for Round 4 if his average score for four of the five games is 70 or more. What is the lowest score Valen must get in the 5^th game to qualify for Round 4?

Round 3
Game	Score
1st	68
2nd	69
3rd	69
4th	61
5th	?

Lowest total score for four games to qualify
= 4 x 70
= 280

To get the lowest score in the fifth game to qualify for Round 4, we need to exclude the lowest score (61) at the 4th game in Round 3 so that the rest of the four games can be as high as possible to qualify for Round 4.

Hence, the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd games must score a total of 280.

Score in the 5th game
= 280 - 68 - 69 - 69
= 74

Answer(s): 74
