Question

4. The team scored the following number of runs in their games this season:

6, 2, 5, 9, 11, 4, 5, 8, 6, 7,5
If they want to end the season with an average of 6 runs per game, how many runs must
they score in their final game of the season?

Answer 1

4 runs

Explanation:

Set up the average equation as follows:

`6=(6+2+5+9+11+4+5+8+6+7+5+x)/(12)`

Remember 12 will be on the bottom since you have to add an extra score; they have 11 games already. Now, just solve for x.

6 x 12 = 68 + x

72 = 68 + x

4 = x

Hope this helps!
