After five exams, Andrew has a mean mark of 70.
What mark must he get in the next exam to raise his average to 72?
:
let x = the mark of the 6th exam
= 72
= 72
multiply both sides by 6
350 + x = 6(72)
subtract 350 from both sides
x = 432 - 350
x = 82 is the grade must get to raise his average to 72
