The Average (arithmetic mean) of a student's scores on 4 tests was 77.
If he recieved a score of 69 on each of the first two tests and an 82 on the
third, what was his score on the fourth test?
:
let x = fourth test score
:
%282%2869%29+%2B+82+%2B+x%29%2F4 = 77
:
%28220+%2B+x%29%2F4 = 77
multiply both sides by 4
220 + x = 4(77)
x = 308 - 220
x = 88 on the 4th test

You can check this
%2869+%2B+69+%2B+82+%2B+88%29%2F4 =
