Gabriel will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 26 or more. What is the lowest score Gabriel must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 26
= 78
To find the lowest score that Gabriel 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
= 23 + 27
= 50
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 78 - 50
= 28
Answer(s): 28
