Ethan will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 23 or more. What is the lowest score Ethan must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 23
= 69
To find the lowest score that Ethan 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
= 19 + 29
= 48
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 69 - 48
= 21
Answer(s): 21
