in order for Brady to earn a b in his biology course, his test scores must average at 80%. ON the first 5 tests, he has an average of 77%. There is one test remaining in the course. What is the minimum score Brady needs to earn on the last test to receive a b in the class?
Accepted Solution
A:
In order for him to have a 77% on his first 5 tests, that means the total amount of points earned on those 5 tests was 385 points out of 500 points. (77*5 out of 5*100 points) So if we want to add a test and have a 80% average this is what we have to do: (385+x)/6 = 80 (multiply by 6 on both sides) 385 + x = 480 (minus 385 on both sides) x = 95
