Question

Kathy's average score after 3 math quizzes was 83. Her score on the 4th quiz was 87. If all 4 of the quizzes are weighted equally, which of the following is closest to her average score after 4 quizzes?​

Answer 1

84

Explanation:

Pretend her first 3 quizzes were all 83 since that was the average. So the 4th was 87.

83+83+83+87 = 336

Divide by the total number of quizzes because they are equally weighted.

336/4 = 84

Her new average score is 84.
