Question 99021: Please help me solve this problem:
Four test scores are between 0 and 100 inclusive.
The mean of these scores is 92. What is the smallest
any one of the scores can be?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the 4th score is to be the smallest, the other three scores
must be the largest they can be.
-------------------
EQUATION:
Let "x" be the 4th score.
(100+100+100+x)/4 = 92
300+x = 368
x = 68
