ADAM TRIED TO COMPUTE THE AVERAGE OF HIS 7 TEST SCORES. HE MISTAKENLY DIVIDED THE CORRECT SUM OF ALL HIS TEST SCORES BY 6,WHICH YIELDED 84. WHAT IS ADAMS CORRECT AVERAGE TEST SCORE?

x/6=84, x=504

x/7=?, 504/7=72

the answer is 72

To find Adam's correct average test score, we need to undo the mistake he made by dividing the sum of his test scores by 6 instead of 7.

Given that the mistaken average score is 84, we can deduce the sum of his test scores by multiplying the mistaken average by the divisor (6):
Sum of test scores = 84 * 6 = 504

To find the correct average, we need to divide the sum of his test scores by the correct divisor (7):
Correct average test score = Sum of test scores / Correct divisor = 504 / 7 = 72

Therefore, Adam's correct average test score is 72.
