since the average of the 35 juniors was 80, the total of their scores was 35x80 = 2800
the average of the 15 seniors was 70, so their total was 15x70 = 1050
total sum = 3850, so for the 50 students the average was 3850/50 or 77
the average of the 15 seniors was 70, so their total was 15x70 = 1050
total sum = 3850, so for the 50 students the average was 3850/50 or 77
