Solution: This problem can
be set up many ways. Let’s set it up as an inequality where x represents
the minimum score that Sandy must bowl on her 6th game.
| 151 + 190 + 181 + 173 + 204 + x |
≥ 185 |
| 6 |
|
| • |
6( |
899 + x |
) |
≥ 6(185) |
| 6 |
|
| • |
899 + x ≥ 1110 |
|
| • |
899 + x - 899 ≥ 1110 - 899 |
|
| • |
x ≥ 211 |
Conclusion: Sandy needs to bowl at least a 211 on her 6th
game to average 185 or better. |
