Question

Ben bowled 147 and 206 in his first two games. What must he bowl in his third game to have an average of at least 200?

Answer 1

Explanation:

• First, translate the question...

Average=sum of values given/no of values

• Let the unknown be f,

(147+206+f)/3=200

(353+f)/3=200

• Clear the fraction,

353+f=600

Therefore, f=600-353

Therefore f=247

Therefore he must bowl 247 in his third game to get an average of 200 at least.

Answer 2

he would have to bowl 247 in the third game to have an average of 200

Explanation:

147+206=353 and since 200*3( because the three games ) is 600 you have to subtract 353 from 600 and you get 247
