.
If her average score for 11 games is 204, the total of her points for those 11 games is (11)(204)=2244
.
If her average score for 10 games (11 games-lowest) is 207, the total of her points for those 10 games is (10)(207)=2070
.
Lowest game=Total points with low game-total points without low game
Lowest game=2244-2070=174
.
ANSWER: Jan's lowest score was 174.
