65, 65, 70, 70, 80, 85, 90, 90, 90,100.

What is Beth's score?


Sagot :

Answer:

  • 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Beth's score is x.

The average is 80.

Solve the following equation:

  • average = sum / number
  • (65*2 + 70*2 + 80 + 85 + 90*3 + 100 + x)/11 = 80
  • 805 + x = 80*11
  • x = 880 - 805
  • x = 75

Beth's score was 75
