Hi
*Note average = sum of the scores /total matches
43.9 = Sum of the ten scores/10
53 = Sum of those first six scores/6
write as we read, letting x be the average for the last four matches
sum of the first scores is 6*53 = 318
43.9 = (318 + x)/10
439 = 318 + x
121 = x
121/4 = 30.25
Answer c would be the correct choice
