Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean of a set of numbers:

                  sum of the numbers

average = --------------------------------

                     count of numbers

Here we know that the average mark was 68, so we can write:

               

                           75 + 62 + 84 + 53 + x

average = 68 = ----------------------------------

                                           5

or                            274 + x

                  68 = -------------------

                                    5

Solving for x, we multiply both sides by 5:     340 = 274 + x.

Subtracting 274 from both sides effectively isolates x:

 340 = 274 + x

- 274    -274

------------------------

  66      =    x

The fifth student's mark was 66.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To change a decimal into a percent you multiply by 100.

If there is a fraction that you need to convert into a percent. Completely divide the fraction. 4/5 = 0.8 then multiply by 100 you get 80%. This means that 4 is 80% of 5
