Question

Ben bowled 141 and 220 in his first two games what much he bowl his third game to have an average of at least 180

Answer 1

Given:

Ben bowled 141 and 220 in his first two games

Let, he bowled x in his third game

So, the average of the three games = 180

So,

`(141+220+x)/(3)=180`

Solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} 141+220+x=180\cdot3 \\ x+361=540 \\ x=54-361=179 \end{gathered}`

So, the answer will be 179
