Problema Solution

suppose your average, after taking 4 quizzes, is 74 (out of 100). what must your average be on the next 5 quizzes to increase your average to 84 out of 100?

Answer provided by our tutors

Average = 74 for 4 quizzes

 

So total marks = 74 * 4 = 296

Let the average of next 5 quizzes is x ,then

Total marks for 5 quizzes = 5x, so

(296 + 5x)/9 = 84

296 + 5x = 84*9

5x = 756 - 296

5x = 460

x = 460/5

x = 92

 

Therefore,

 

The average should be 92 for next 5 quizzes.
