Question 819260: mike's average on the first 5 exams in Econ is 88. What must he earn on the next exam to raise his overall average to 90? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If his average on the first 5 tests is 88, then the total of the first 5 scores must be 5 times 88.
If he wants an overall average of 90 on 6 tests then the total of his points must be 6 times 90.
So he must need to score (6 * 90) - (5 * 88) on the sixth test.
