Will had an average of 74 on his first four math test.after taking the next test,his average dropped to 73.find his most recent test grade
Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
need to use the formula for average
average = sum of test scores / number of test scores
73 = (4 *74 + recent test score) / 5
365 = 296 + recent test score
the recent test score = 365 - 296 = 69
