Question

Mr. R comments on a test, "well, the class average on that test is exactly 83. if I take away the best score, the average is exactly 82." if there are 16 students in the class, what is the best score?

Answer 1

The best score was 98.
To move the average of 16 people by 1%, the best score had to be 16% more than the average.
82+16=98
