A student of physics obtains the average of 60 in his 4 physics tests. How many marks in his fifth test will bring the any to 65?
Explanation
Current total marks = Average * Number of tests
= 60 * 4
= 240
New average = 65
New total tests = 5
New total marks = New average * New total tests
= 65 * 5
= 325
Marks needed in the fifth test = New total marks - Current total marks
= 325 - 240
= 85
