Question

A figure skater needs a total score of at least 90 to move on to the next round. The total score is the average of four judges’ scores. The first three judges’ scores were 83, 88, and 92. The figure skater made it to the next round.

What is the minimum score the fourth judge could have given?

Answer 1

Answer:97

Explanation:

83+88+92+97=360

360/4=90

Answer 2

the skater needs to get a score of 97 [or more ]

Explanation:

[ 83 + 88 + 92 + M ] / 4 ≥ 90 multiply both sides by 4

83 + 88 + 92 + M ≥ 360 simplify

263 + M ≥ 360 subtract 263 from both sides

M ≥ 97 → the skater needs to get a score of 97 [or more ]
