The score for each of the three darts was ${10,15,20}$

Lowest score was $10$

As range was $10$ , the difference between lowest and highest score is $10$ and as lowest score is $10$ , highest score is $10+10=20$ .

As the mean of three scores was $15$ , sum of three scores was

$15xx3=45$

Now two readings are $10$ and $20$ , hence third reading is

$45-10-20=15$ .

Hence, the score for each of the three darts was ${10,15,20}$

Three darts hit a dartboard. If lowest score was 1010, range is 1010 and mean of scores is 1515, what was the score for each of the three darts?
