PROBLEM OF THE WEEK


                                 Pressure's On

Taylor Jones is participating at the local level of a competition in which he
competes in 10 events. In each event the maximum possible score is 10 points.
To advance to the regional level a competitor must earn a minimum total score
of 75 points.

On the first five events, Taylor had an average score of 6.8. On the next three
events his average score was 7.2.

What must Taylor average on his final two events in order to have a total score
of exactly 75 points?
