A student scored 67, 88, and 96 on three algebra tests. What must he score on the fourth test in order to have an average grade of at least 85?

Relax

Respuesta :

At least 89

=================

Set up the equation:

  • (67 + 88 + 96 + x) / 4 ≥ 85,

where x is the score on the fourth test

Solving this inequality, we get:

  • 251 + x ≥ 85*4
  • 251 + x ≥ 340
  • x ≥ 340 - 251
  • x ≥ 89

Therefore, the student must score at least 89 on the fourth test.
