                REAL WORLD EXAMPLE

                 EXAM SCORE                                       EXAM SCORE

                 Ian had exam scores of 89, 98,                   Poom has taken 5 of 6 tests in his English class this
                 96, 97, and 95.                                  term, and he has an average of exactly 78 points.
                                                                  How many points does he need to earn on the 6th
                 Find the mean (average) of his                   test to bring his average score up to exactly 80
                 exam scores.                                     points?
                                                                   A. 90
                                                                   B. 88
                 89 + 98 + 96 + 97 + 95  = 475  Find the sum of the  C. 82
                            5            5    quiz scores. Divide  D. 80
                                              by the number (of
                                              exams) in the set.   Answer
                                     = 95     Simplify.

                   Answer       The average of Ian’s score is 95
