Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A student scores 60, 70, and 80 in three subjects. If he wants an average of 75, what score does he need in the fourth subject?
Correct Answer: 90
  • Step 1: Add the scores of the first three subjects: 60 + 70 + 80.
  • Step 2: Calculate the total from Step 1: 60 + 70 + 80 = 210.
  • Step 3: Let the score needed in the fourth subject be x.
  • Step 4: Write the formula for the average: (210 + x) / 4 = 75.
  • Step 5: Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction: 210 + x = 300.
  • Step 6: Subtract 210 from both sides to solve for x: x = 300 - 210.
  • Step 7: Calculate the value of x: x = 90.
  • Average Calculation – Understanding how to calculate the average of a set of numbers and how to manipulate equations to find an unknown value.
  • Algebraic Manipulation – Using algebra to solve for an unknown variable in an equation.
