Question 944783: Bully takes 5 mathematics tests, each scaled from 0 to 100, and obtains an average of 73%. After his teacher deletes one of his 5 test scores, Bully's new average is 76%. What was the score on the test that the teacher deleted?

If 5 test scores average 73%, the sum of the scores is 5(73)=365
If 4 test scores average 76%, the sum of the scores is 4(76)=304
So the test score deleted is 365-304=61
ANSWER Bully's score on the deleted test was 61.
