Question

Mac has taken seven maths exams this year. His average mark is 78%. What mark must he get on the eighth exam to raise his average to 80%?

Answer 1

94

Explanation:

7*78 + x = 8*80

x = 94

Or, think that he was short 2 points on each of 7 tests, so he has to make them all (14) up on the last test.
