Ms Selerac calculated the test average for 30 students as 72%.
Then she found two test papers she forgot to include.
The average for the class including the two papers was 73%.
The average of just the two papers, written as percent, is:
:
Let t = total score of the two papers
= 73
2160 + t = 32 * 73
t = 2336 - 2160
t = 176
therefore
176/2 = 88% is the av of these two papers
