Answer:

The score of the dropped grade is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of a set of numbers you need to add all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. The problem wants you to solve it in reverse. Let put this into an algebraic equation with a, b, c, d, and e being the variables of the test scores

(a+b+c+d+e)/5=10

Then we can multiply both sides by 5 and get

a+b+c+d+e=50

Lets assume that c is the lowest test score. To calculate the average of that we get

a+b+d+e/4=11

Doing the same thing, we know that a+b+d+e=44

Now compare the two:

a+b+c+d+e=50

a+b+d+e=44

We can now know that c=50-44=6

So, 6 is the score of the dropped quiz. Hope that helped!

One-half of a number,<br> increased by 69 is 74.<br> What is the number?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n then half the number is \frac{1}{2} n , so

\frac{1}{2} n + 69 = 74 ( subtract 69 from both sides )

\frac{1}{2} n = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

n = 10

Thus the number is 10
