in his first three rounds of golf, Jon scored 72, 78, and 73. What is the highest score he can earn in his fourth round and still have a mean score no greater than 74?
No greater means equal or less. Because the problems asks about the highest score(maximum value), we are going to solve following equation: (72+78+73+x)/ 4 = 74 (72+78+73+x)=74*4 223+x=296 x=296-223= 73 Answer is 73.
