The average of two quiz scores is 81. If one quiz score is six more than the other quiz score, what are the two quiz scores? Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm not sure about the '5 steps', but this is how to set up the problem:
In general the average of two scores, s1 and s2 will be
We are told that one score is 6 more than the other -> s1 = s2 + 6
So we have
Solve for s2 -> .
Thus the two quiz scores are s1 = 78 + 6 = 84, and s2 = 78.
