Answer:

The average score of 6 tests is 19.

Explanation:

Given that the average score of 5 tests is 18. So first, we have to find the total number of scores for 5 tests :


let \: x = total \: no. \: of \: scores


(x)/(5) = 18


x = 18 * 5


x = 90

We have found out that the total scores for 5 tests is 90. So we have to find the average of 6 scores :


(x + 24)/(5 + 1) = (90 + 24)/(6) = (114)/(6) = 19

\LARGE{ \boxed{ \rm{ \pink{Solution : )}}}}

Given:

  • Average score in 5 tests = 18
  • He scored 24 points in 6th point

To FinD:

  • Find the average score in all six tests?

How to find?

We need to know how to find the average

☄ For this case, We are gonna find average score...!


\large{ \boxed{ \sf{Avg. \: score = (Total \: score)/(No. \: of \: tests) }}}

So, Let's proceed further towards solution....

Solution:

We have,

  • Avg. score = 18
  • No. of tests = 5

Finding total score in 5 tests,

⇛ Total score = Avg. score × No. of tests

⇛ Total score = 18 × 5

⇛ Total score = 90

According to question,

  • He scored 24 marks in 6th test

⇛ Total score now = 90 + 24 = 114

  • No. of tests = 6

Finding the average score of 6 tests,

⇛ Avg. score = 114 / 6

⇛ Avg. score = 19 points

Avg. score of lynette in 6 tests = 19
