Alicia's average score on her five tests is 88 points The score range for each test is 0 point to 100 points inclusive What is the lowest possible score that Alicia could earned on 1 of 5 test?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, Alicia's average score is 88, right? So, if she got the lowest possible score on one test, that would bring her average down a bit. The lowest score she could have gotten on one test to still have an average of 88 on all five tests would be 83 points. Like, she's gotta keep that average up, you know?

Answer 2

Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here? Since Alicia's average score is 88 points, that means she earned a total of 440 points across all five tests. To find the lowest possible score she could have earned on one test, we can subtract the highest possible scores on the other four tests (400 points) from the total (440 points), giving us a minimum score of 40 points on one test.

Answer 3

If her average over five tests is 88 then her total is 440

The most she could have scored on each of the other four tests is 100 - 400 in total, leaving 40 as the minimum from the last.

Proof - we have awarded her 100 in four tests and 44 in the last - if she only got 43 in the last then on one of the others she would have to have scored 101 - but that's not possible.

Answer 4

To find the lowest possible score Alicia could have earned on one test, we can set up an equation. Since her average score is 88 points for all five tests, the total points she earned on all five tests is 5 * 88 = 440 points. If we assume the lowest score on one test is x, then the total points earned on the other four tests would be 440 - x. Since the score range for each test is 0 to 100 points, the lowest possible score Alicia could have earned on one test is 0 points.
