Question

Peter, Jan, and Maxim are classmates. Their total score for the last test was 269. Peter's score was more than the sum of Jan's and Maxim's scores. What could be Peter's least possible score?

Answer 1

135

Explanation:

Given that :

Total score obtained by Peter, Jan and Maxim = 269

Let :

Peter's score = x

Jan's score = y

Maxim's score = z

x + y + z = 269

x > (y + z)

For x to be greater Than y + z ;

Then x > (269 / 2) ; x > 134.5

The least possible x score is 135

Hence, Peter's least possible score is 135.
