Answer 1

His least score for him in the fourth paper has to be 76.

Given that Michael has an average of 68% in his 3 papers but that is below the pass mark of 70%, to determine what must be his least score in the fouth paper to enable him pass the following calculation must be performed:

(70 x 4) - (68 x 3) = X

280 - 204 = X

76 = X

Therefore, his least score for him in the fourth paper has to be 76.
