Wesley will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 25 or more. What is the lowest score Wesley must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 25
= 75
To find the lowest score that Wesley 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
= 29 + 19
= 48
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 75 - 48
= 27
Answer(s): 27
