Question

Par on a golf course is 72  . If a professional golfer shot 71,66  and 67  in a tournament, what will she need to shoot on the final round to average par?

Answer 1

Multiply 72 (par) times 4 (number of rounds played) = 288

 

Add 71 + 66 + 67 (scores for rounds played) = 204

 

Subtract 288 - 204 (total needed minus current scores total) = 84

 

So the last round would need a score of 84.

 

CHECK:  Add the four scores 71 + 66 + 67 + 84 = 288

 

then divide 288 by 4 (number of rounds) = 72 (averge score needed)
