Answer:

85, 68, 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Average: The sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers

If the ratio of the scores is 5 : 4 : 3, let's just set it as 5x : 4x : 3x

Then using the definition of an average, we can write this equation.

(5x + 4x + 3x) / 3 = 68

Multiply both sides by 3.

5x + 4x + 3x = 68 * 3

Simplify.

12x = 204

x = 17

Now, substitute x = 17 into the original scores (5x, 4x, and 3x)

5x = 5 * 17 = 85

4x = 4 * 17 = 68

3x = 3 * 17 = 51

Just in case, let's check this answer. Find the average of the 3 test scores.

(85 + 68 + 51) / 3 =

204 / 3 = 68

Thus, the answers are correct
