The arithmetic mean of six grades is 87. If the lowest grade is dropped, the mean is 89. What is the lowest grade?

If the mean is 87, that means the sum of the grades is 6*87= 522. If the lowest grade is dropped that leaves 5 grades with an averagve of 89. SO the sum of those 5 is 5*89= 445. To find the grade subtracted, you find the difference of theses sums which is 522-445= 77 which is your answer.

 

 

Hope it helps!

If  the   mean  of  the six grades  is  87, there were  6 * 87  =   522 total points

 

If  the mean of  6 grades  is 89, there were a total  of  455 points

 

Then  the  dropped grade  must  have been    522 - 455  =  77

 

 

cool cool cool
