You can put this solution on YOUR website! Debbie is running laps at the track. She wants to average 100 seconds per lap on her last set of 4. For the first 3 laps, she ran 98 seconds, 103 seconds, and 101 seconds. How fast does she need to run the last lap?
--------
(98 + 103 + 101 + time)/4 = 100
(98 + 103 + 101 + time) = 400
302 + time = 400
time = 400-302
time = 98
