Perry will get a prize if his average score for three of the four games is 28 or more. What is the lowest score Perry must score in the 4
th game in order to get a prize?
Total score for three games
= 3 x 28
= 84
To find the lowest score that Perry 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
= 27 + 25
= 52
Lowest score that Any must score in the 4
th game
= 84 - 52
= 32
Answer(s): 32
