Here are the marks of a student in four exams.

65 80 76 69

The student takes a fifth exam.
His mean mark for the five exams is 70

Work out his mark in the fifth exam.

Answer 1

61 marks

Explanation:

Given,

Marks of the four exams = 65, 80, 76, 68

Let the mark for the fifth exam be = x

Mean of the five exams = 70

Therefore,

By the problem,

`= > (65 + 80 + 76 + 68 + x)/(5) = 70`

`= > (289 + x)/(5) = 70`

=> 289 + x = 70 × 5

=> 289 + x = 350

=> x = 350 - 289

=> x = 61

Hence,

Marks of the fifth exam is 61 (Ans)
