25 students average 91 marks in a mathematics test.
If Ashley removed her score, the average marks of the remaining students would be 92.
What was Ashley's score in the mathematics test?
:
a = Ashley's score
:
%2825%2891%29-a%29%2F24 = 92
2275 - a = 24(92)
-a = 2208 - 2275
-a = -67
a = 67 was Ashley's score
