Average score

Question

I need to solve this: Isobel’s class of 13 pupils all received an average of 85% on their history exam collectively. William scored 100%. If William is removed from the collective results, what would the new average be? My solution is: totalScore / 13 = 85 totalScore = 85*13 = 1105 I subtract William's score 100 from 1105 and divide it by 12 to get new average. (totalScore - 100) / 12 = newAverage (1105 - 100) / 12 = 1005 / 12 = 83.75 New average is 83.75%. Is this correct?
