A student of physics obtains the average of 60 in his 4 physics tests. How many marks in his fifth test will bring the any to 65?

Answer: 85
Explanation

Current total marks = Average * Number of tests

= 60 * 4

= 240

New average = 65

New total tests = 5

New total marks = New average * New total tests

= 65 * 5

= 325

Marks needed in the fifth test = New total marks - Current total marks

= 325 - 240

= 85
