you are wrong. see the other problem.
im a little confused the other question is different
To determine the highest score you can shoot in your 5th game and still make the team, you need to calculate the average score over the 5 games and find the maximum score that keeps the average below 84.
To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Add up the scores from the first 4 games.
95 + 74 + 97 + 65 = 331
Step 2: Find the total average score needed over 5 games.
To find the average score needed, multiply the target average (84) by the total number of games (5).
Target average = 84 * 5 = 420
Step 3: Find the maximum allowable score in the 5th game.
To find the maximum allowable score, subtract the sum of the first 4 games' scores from the total average score needed.
Maximum allowable score = 420 - 331 = 89
Therefore, the highest score you can shoot in your 5th and final game and still make the team is 89. So the correct answer is d. 89.
