Question 1146816: Good Day, Sir/Madam. I wish I could show some work, but honestly, I don't even have a notion how to go about trying to solve this problem. Please Help! Here it is:
The course grade in a math class is the average of the scores on five examinations. Suppose that a student's scores on the first four examinations (out of 100) are 65, 70, 91, and 78. What is the highest course average possible
after the last examination?
Thank you, so much for your help, from the bottom of my heart,
Dan

The maximum average possible score which can be achieved will happen at 100 score at the last examination.


So, the answer to the problem's question is


    Maximum average score = %2865%2B70%2B91%2B78%2B100%29%2F5 = 80.8,


or, after rounding to a nearest integer, 81.    ANSWER
