Question: Randy got 90, 98, 92, and 94 in his first four quizzes. His goal is to get a 94 average on his 5 quizzes. What score should he get in the fifth quiz to reach his desired average?
Answer:
Since Randy wants to get an average of 94, then the sum of the 5 quizzes should be 94 x 5 = 470. The sum of Randy's score for the first four quizzes is 90 + 98 + 92 + 94 = 374. Thus, Randy needs to get 470 - 374 = 96 in his fifth quiz. The answer is 96.
