Remark

The scores of the 4 games are 192 + 214 + 250 + x

When you divide these scores by 4 you need to get 225.

Equation

[tex]\dfrac{192 + 214+ 250+x}{4} = 225[/tex]

Solution

Add the 3 numbers together

(656 + x)/4 = 225 Multiply both sides by 4

656 + x = 225*4

656 + x = 900 Subtract 656 from both sides.

x = 900 - 656

x = 244 His 4th game has to be 244 or higher.

Don needs to earn a minimum of 244 in the fourth game.

Average can be determined by dividing the sum of scores by 4

The sum of scores Don has to have in the four games = total number of games x minimum average scores

4 x 225 = 900

Don has to score a total of 900 in the four games

The sum of his scores in the first three games = 192 + 214 + 250 = 656

The minimum score Don has to have in the fourth games is the total minimum score less the sum of his scores in the first three games

900 - 656 = 244
