A player has to play a total of five games in Round 3 of a competition. The scores for Carl's first four games are shown. Carl will qualify for Round 4 if his average score for four of the five games is 60 or more. What is the lowest score Carl must get in the 5^th game to qualify for Round 4?

Round 3
Game	Score
1st	55
2nd	58
3rd	49
4th	58
5th	?

Lowest total score for four games to qualify
= 4 x 60
= 240

To get the lowest score in the fifth game to qualify for Round 4, we need to exclude the lowest score (49) at the 3rd 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, the 4th, and the 5th games must score a total of 240.

Score in the 5th game
= 240 - 55 - 58 - 58
= 69

Answer(s): 69
