Archie will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 29 or more. What is the lowest score Archie must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 29
= 87
To find the lowest score that Archie 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
= 29 + 26
= 55
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 87 - 55
= 32
Answer(s): 32
