<PRE><B>Question 482606</B>
fred scored an average of 32 points in the first 3 games of the series.
However his average increased after the fourth game to 35.
 What was his score in game 4
:
Let x = his score in the 4th game
{{{(3(32) + x)/4}}} = 35
:
{{{(96 + x)/4}}} = 35
Multiply both sides by 4
96 + x = 4(35)
96 + x = 140
x = 140 - 96
x = 44 is the score in the 4th game
:
Check this in the original equation</PRE>
