The 15 students in Miss Brown's class took a test.
The average for the class was 95 points.
The maximum possible score was 100 points.
What is the lowest score a student in this class could have scored?:
:
15 * 95 = 1425, total score of the 15 students
In the unlikely event that 14 students got 100, then the 15th could get only 25%
