Solution

Algebra:
Lisa scored an average of 94 in three tests.
∴ Total marks scored in algebra = Average score × Number of tests
= 94 × 3
= 282

Geometry:
She scored an average of 92 in four tests.
∴ Total marks scored in geometry = Average score × Number of tests
= 92 × 4
= 368

Mensuration:
She got an average of 90 in one test.
∴ Total marks scored in mensuration = Average score × Number of tests
= 90 × 1
= 90

∴ Total marks scored in maths
= 282 + 368 + 90
= 740

Total number of tests = 3 + 4 + 1
= 8

Overall maths average = $\frac{T o t a l m a r k s s c o r e d i n a l l t o p i c s}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f t e s t s}$

$= \frac{740}{8}$

= 92.5

Thus, Lisa's overall maths average is 92.5.
