Find Average of User Input Defined number of Scores
#1
I am attempting to write a short practice script that finds the average of a user defined number of scores.

Here is the code I have:

total = int(input('How many scores are there? '))
total_sum = 0

for i in range(total):

    Scores = float(input('Enter a score : '))

total_sum += Scores

avg = Scores / total_sum

print ('The average of the scores is: ', avg)
My goal is for this to calculate the average but it doesn't seem to be doing that. What it's doing is calculating something else. No matter how I change it up it keeps giving me odd answers.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
