Rael will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 24 or more. What is the lowest score Rael must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 24
= 72
To find the lowest score that Rael 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
= 18 + 25
= 43
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 72 - 43
= 29
Answer(s): 29
