Question

Marsha bowled 144 and 162 in her first two games. What must she bowl in the third game to have an average of at least 152 for the three games?

Answer 1

average (Ave) = (g1 + g2 + g3)/3

152 = (144 + 162 + g3) / 3

3 * 152 = 144 + 162 + g3

g3 = (3 * 152) - (144 + 162)

g3 = 456 - 306 = 150

Marsha must bowl 150 in the third game to have an average of at least 152 for the three games
