84



After taking 5 quizzes your average is 74 out of 100.................?

84



First 5 gave u average of 74, total of 74*5 = 370



After 10 desired average is 79, total of 79*5 = 790



Therefore total of next 5 is (790-370)= 420



average 420/5 = 84



After taking 5 quizzes your average is 74 out of 100.................?

total of 5 quizzes is 74*5=370



total of 10 quizzes is 79*10=790



total of the second 5 quizzes=790-370=420



the average of the next 5 quizzes is 420/5=84

Let x = average score in the next 5 quizzes.



5x = sum of scores in the next 5 quizzes



74 = average score in the first 5 quizzes



5(74) = 370 = sum of scores in the first 5 quizzes



The average of all quizzes is the sum of the scores divided by 10.



(5x + 370)/10 = 79



Multiply by 10



5x + 370 = 790



Transpose and combine



5x = 420



Divide



x = 84



Therefore, your average in the next 5 quizzes must be 84.
