Problem
Laila took five math tests, each worth a maximum of 100 points. Laila's score on each test was an integer between 0 and 100, inclusive. Laila received the same score on the first four tests, and she received a higher score on the last test. Her average score on the five tests was 82. How many values are possible for Laila's score on the last test?
Solution
Say Laila gets a value of 
on her first 4 tests, and a value of 
on her last test. Thus, 
The value has to be greater than 
, because otherwise she would receive the same score on her last test. Additionally, the greatest value for is 
(as 
would make as a decimal), so therefore the greatest value can be is . As a result, only 
numbers work, 
and . Thus the answer is 
.
