Answer 2

Given,

Adam scored a total of 420 marks in 5 subjects.

To Find,

The average of marks scored by him in a subject =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given to us that Adam scored a total of 420 marks in 5 subjects.

We know that the average of a given set of data is equal to the sum of all the numbers in the data set divided by the number of values in the data set.

Here,

Sum of all the marks = 420

Total subjects = 5

$Average = \frac{Sum\: of\: all\: the\: marks\:}{Total\: marks}$

$Average = \frac{420}{5}$

$Average = 84$

Hence, the average mark scored by him in a subject is 84.
