Two of the golf scores at the local tournament were unreadable, but the mean score was 85 and the lowest score was 75. if the readable scores are listed below, what are possible score for the other golfers?
100,82,95, __, 90,81,75,83,__

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the readable scores are:

100, 82, 95, __ , 90, 81, 75, 83, __

We know the mean (or average) is 85, so:

85 = (100 + 82 + 95 + x + 90 + 81 + 75 + 83 + y) / 9

765 = 606 + x + y

159 = x + y

We know the lowest score is 75, so x and y must be at least 76.  Possible answers are:

76 and 83

77 and 82

78 and 81

79 and 80

80 and 79

81 and 78

82 and 77

83 and 76

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
