Q:

Ashlynn played six rounds of golf. her scores were 72, 79, 74, 76, 76, and 75. she really wants to have an mean of 75 after her next round of golf. what must she shoot in order to have an mean of 75? 66 75 73 72

Accepted Solution

A:
Total of the 6 rounds = 72 + 79 + 74 + 76 + 76 + 75 = 452

A mean of 75 for 7 rounds will have a total of 75 x 7 = 525

Score needed for the 7th round = 525 - 452 = 73
