Jared · Answer 1

(77 + 71 + 77 + 67 + x) / 5 < 74

(292 + x) / 5 < 74

292 + x < 74 * 5

292 + x < 370

x < 370 - 292

x < 78 ... the highest score u can shoot is 77

If a person is trying out for a golf team and needs to score no more than 74 on average of 5 games and has already scored 77,71,77, and 67 in the 1st four games. They can't score more than 77 on the fifth game to make the team.
