Bryan will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 22 or more. What is the lowest score Bryan 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 Bryan 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
= 17 + 20
= 37
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 66 - 37
= 29
Answer(s): 29
