In Felicity's first six netball games she averaged 7.5 goals per game. If the least number of goals she scored was 4, what is the lowest possible value for the highest number for goals she's scored?

Answer 1

To find the lowest possible value for the highest number of goals Felicity has scored, we need to consider the fact that the least number of goals she scored in a game was 4 and her average for the first six games was 7.5 goals per game.

If Felicity scored 4 goals in one game and her average is 7.5 goals per game for six games, then she scored a total of 7.5 * 6 = 45 goals in the first six games.

If the least number of goals she scored was 4, then the remaining goals must be 45 - 4 = 41.

To find the lowest possible value for the highest number of goals she scored, we need to divide the remaining goals by the number of games she played after the game in which she scored 4 goals.

The lowest possible value for the highest number of goals she scored is then 41 / 5 = 8.2

Therefore, the lowest possible value for the highest number of goals Felicity has scored is 8.
