Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is sum of scores/ number of scores, from the question, average is given as 15.

Let the missing score be x

Equation for the questionis represented as: 12 + 18 + x /3 = 15

30 + x /3 = 15

Cross multiply

30 + x = 15×3

30 + x = 45

Subtract 30 from both sides

30 + x -30 = 45 -30

x = 15.

Check:

12 + 18 + 15/3 = 15

45/3 = 15

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer
