Adam tried to compute the average of his 7 test scores. He mistakenly divided the correct sum of all of his test scores by 6, which yields 84. What is Adam's correct average test score?

Adam mistakenly divided his test scores 6 times instead of 7.
So if the average yielded 84 when divided by a 6, then you multiply by 6
84×6=504
So you divide 504 by 7 (the correct amount of test scores)
504÷7=72 which is often equivalent to a B-
72 is Adam's grade point average.
Number Of Tests=7

6*84=6(80+4)=480+24=504

----------------------------------------

504/7=72

--------------------------------------

Adam's correct average test score is 72.
