Question 576332
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


If you want a particular average on three tests, then the total of your three test scores has to be three times the desired average.  Multiply 72 by 3 and then subtract 73 and 85 from the product.  The result is the minimum score to achieve a 72 average.
