Let the score be S.
The current total score is
73*23.
The required total score is
74*24
The required score of the last paper is therefore
74*24-73*23
=?

97 However my solution of the problem went a different way than
MathMate. The 24th student would have a base score of 73 and add 24 to it (to raise the average score of all students by 1) would give 97 as the answer.
