Answer:

b) 91

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiple marks by its weights

Homework average: 95 x 20% = 19

Quiz average: 90 x 20% = 18

Test average: 87 x 40% = 34.8

Final exam: y x 20% = 0.2y

Step 2: Add all weighted averages and find y

19+18+34.8+0.2y = 90

71.8 + 0.2y = 90

y = 18.2/0.2

y = 91

Therefore, Anna needs to score minimum 91 in the final exam so that she can score a 90 in class.

Option b is correct.
