Answer:

At least 52

Explanation:

Paul's current average is a 79. It wouldn't be any of the "at most" answers because the question is looking for an average of "at least" 70. And "at least 79" wouldn't be correct because he could get much less than a 79 and still have an overall average of 70. The answer is at least 52. Hope this helps! Good luck.
