If Jill's average is the same as Jack's in 4 games, then their sum is the same. Jill's sum is 160, so Jack's sum must be 160. Jack's median score is the average of his two middle scores, so if his median score is 30, the sum of his two middle scores is 60. His smallest and largest scores therefore add to 100, and if the larger score is 3 times the smaller, the larger score is 75.

Since Jill's total score of the 4 matches is 45 + 72 + 18 + 25 = 160, Jack's total score of the 4 matches is also 160. Furthermore, since Jack's median score is 30, the sum of his middle two scores is 60. Therefore, the sum of his lowest and highest scores is 100. We can create the equation where x is his lowest score:

x + 3x = 100

4x = 100

x = 25

Therefore, his highest score is 3(25) = 75.
