Question

A figure skater needs a total score of at least 90 to move on to the next round. The total score is the average of four judges’ scores. The first three judges’ scores were 83, 88, and 92. The figure skater made it to the next round. What is the minimum score the fourth judge could have given?
Enter your numeric answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

97

Step-by-step explanation:

The average needs to be 90, so the sum of 4 scores would be:

4 * 90 = 360

From the scores of first 3 rounds, the total is:

83 + 88 + 92 = 263

To make atleast 360, the skater needs:

360 - 263 = 97

Since skater made it to next round, the least score of that round would be 97
