Harry will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 21 or more. What is the lowest score Harry must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 21
= 63
To find the lowest score that Harry 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
= 17 + 24
= 41
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 63 - 41
= 22
Answer(s): 22
