Problem 7
Shauna takes five tests, each worth a maximum of 
points. Her scores on the first three tests are 
, 
, and 
. In order to average 
for all five tests, what is the lowest score she could earn on one of the other two tests?
Solution 1
Right now, she scored 
and points, with a total of 
points. She wants her average to be for her 
tests so she needs to score 
points in total. She needs to score a total of 
points in her 
tests. So the minimum score she can get is when one of her scores is . So the least possible score she can get is 
.
