Shradha made 40 and 55 runs in two cricket match. What are the minimum runs she should make in the third match so that her average score of three matches is at least 50? Correct Answer 55

Let the runs scored by Shradha in the third match be x.

Then,

(40 + 55 + x)/3 ≥ 50

(95 + x)/3 ≥ 50

95 + x ≥ 150

X ≥ 55

Hence, Shradha must score at least 55 runs to have an average of 50.
