Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the scores of our team

The scores of our team for the five games are:

  • Monday: 57
  • Tuesday: 62
  • Wednesday: 81
  • Thursday: 51
  • Friday: 66
Step 2: Calculate the total score

Add up all the scores of our team: \[ 57 + 62 + 81 + 51 + 66 = 317 \]

Step 3: Calculate the average score

Divide the total score by the number of games (5) to find the average: \[ \text{Average score} = \frac{317}{5} = 63.4 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{63}\)
