1. let the score on 1st test be = x
Given average is = 92
2nd tests scores are = 97 (assume this as y)
3rd test score = 89 (assume this as z)
Average =
Hence, 1st day score was 90.
2. Let the original recipe made x cookies

3. As given in the table,
Time used in total by boys = 255 minutes
Time used by girls in total = 213 minutes
Time used for school work by boys = 33 minutes
Time used by boys other than schoolwork = 255-33 = 222 minutes
Time used for school work by girls = 72 minutes
Time used by girls other than schoolwork = 213-72 = 141 minutes
How many more minutes per week do boys spend using the internet for purposes other than schoolwork then girls = 222-141 = 81 minutes
Hence, boys use 81 more minutes than girls for work other than schoolwork.
