Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A student scores 80, 90, and 70 in three subjects. If he wants to achieve an average of 85 after scoring in a fourth subject, what score does he need?
  • Step 1: Add the scores of the three subjects: 80 + 90 + 70.
  • Step 2: Calculate the total score from Step 1: 80 + 90 + 70 = 240.
  • Step 3: Determine the total score needed for an average of 85 over 4 subjects: 4 * 85.
  • Step 4: Calculate the total score needed: 4 * 85 = 340.
  • Step 5: Find out how much more is needed by subtracting the current total score from the total score needed: 340 - 240.
  • Step 6: Calculate the score needed in the fourth subject: 340 - 240 = 100.
