There are 8 sophomores on the academic team. At the last competition, they each took the math test. Their scores were 82 percent , 92 percent , 76 percent , 72 percent , 92 percent , 74 percent , 80 percent , and 78 percent What was the median math score of the sophomores?

Put the scores in order from least to greatest: 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 92, 92. Since there are 8 scores, the median is the average of the two middle scores, 78 and 80. Their average is (78 + 80) ÷ 2 = 79 percent, so the median is 79 percent.
