Question 1082050: Henry's average in 6 subjects is 83. If his lowest grade is disregarded, his average for the remaining subject is 84. What is his lowest grade? Thank you. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If his average for 6 scores is 83, then his total points for 6 scores is 6 times 83. If his average for 5 scores is 84, then his total points for 5 scores is 5 times 84. The difference between his total for 6 scores and his total for 5 scores is the discarded score. You can do your own arithmetic.
