Question

Ebony earned scores of 72 70, 81, 99, and 88 on five math tests. Determine her

Answer 1

Let it be x

$\boxed{\sf Average=\dfrac{Sum\:of\:terms}{No\:of\:terms}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{72+70+81+99+88+x}{6}=83$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{410+x}{6}=83$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 410+x=498$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=498-410$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=88$
