To find out how much a score of 72% will bring down your score of 96, you need to calculate the average of the two scores. Here's how you can do it:
-
Identify the scores: You have a score of 96% and a new score of 72%.
-
Calculate the average: You can add the two scores and divide by the number of scores.
\[ \text{Average} = \frac{96 + 72}{2} = \frac{168}{2} = 84 \]
So, your average score with the addition of the 72% will be 84%. This means your score of 96% decreases to an average of 84%.
