Hi. I am in 7th grade and would like to get help on the following question:

if a bowler's average for the last five games was 139, what must his minimum score on his 6th game be for his average to be 141?

Thank you for your help.

Can you please tell us - how is the average score calculated?

If the average, over six games, is to be 141, then what is to be his total? (Hint: Multiply.)

If the average, over five games, was 139, then what was his total? (Hint: Multiply.)

What then is the difference? (Hint: Subtract.)

What then is the necessary score for the sixth game?

If you get stuck, please reply showing all of your steps in answering the above questions. Thank you! ;)
