Question
Greg’s average golf score is 93. Three of his scores were 88, 89, 94. The other 2 scores were identical. What were those 2 scores
Answer
{"score_1":97, "score_2":97}
- Q: What is the sum of Greg's scores on the three rounds? A: The sum is 88 + 89 + 94 = 271.
- Q: What is the sum of all five of Greg's scores? A: If the average of the five scores is 93, then the sum of all five scores is 93 x 5 = 465.
- Q: What is the sum of the two identical scores? A: To find out, we can subtract the sum of the three known scores from the sum of all five scores: 465 - 271 = 194.
- Q: What is the value of each of the two identical scores? A: To find out, we divide the sum of identical scores by 2: 194 / 2 = 97.
