Liam will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 30 or more. What is the lowest score Liam must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 30
= 90
To find the lowest score that Liam 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
= 25 + 26
= 51
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 90 - 51
= 39
Answer(s): 39
