Molly · Answer 1

No more than 74 on average of 5 games means no more than 370 shots on total. If you add all of the numbers up you will get 292, so he can still shoot 370-292=78 in the last round, which is answer choice B.

Aleena Hoover · Answer 2

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

(292 + x) / 5 = 74

292 + x = 74 * 5

292 + x = 370

x = 370 - 292

x = 78 <===
