Problem 7
Shauna takes five tests, each wort a maximum of 
points. Her scores on the first three tests are 
, 
, and 
. In order to average 
for all five tests, what is the lowest score she could earn on one of the other two tests?
Solution 1
Right now, she scored 76, 94, and 87 points, with a total of 257 points. She wants her average to be 81 for her 5 tests so she needs to score 405 points in total. She needs to score a total of (405-257) 148 points in her 2 tests. So the minimum score she can get is when one of her 2 scores is 100. So the least possible score she can get is [A] 48.~heeeeeeeheeeeee
