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!
