Question

A teacher gave a test to a class in which 10% of the students are juniors and 90% are seniors. The average score on the test was 84. The juniors all received the same score, and the average score of the seniors was 83. What score did each of the juniors receive on the test

Answer 1

Each junior  receives 93 score on the test. It is also the average score of the juniors.

Given Information

It is given that 10% of the strength of the class consists of juniors and 90% consists of seniors.

Let us assume the total strength of the class is 100, then,

Number of seniors = 90

Number of juniors = 10

It is also given that the average score of the class = 84

And, average score of the seniors = 83

Another given information is that all the juniors all received the same score, which is their average score. Let it be x.

Average Score of Juniors

Total marks obtained by the seniors = Number of seniors × Average score of seniors

= 90 × 83

= 7470

Total marks obtained by the juniors = Number of juniors × Average score of juniors

= 10x

Average marks on the test = Total marks / Total number of students

⇒ 84 = (7470 + 10x)/100

⇒ 84 × 100 = 7470 + 10x

⇒ 10x + 7470 = 8400

⇒ 10x = 8400-7470

⇒ 10x = 930

⇒ x = 930/10

⇒  x = 93

Thus, each junior scores 93 on the test.
