Question

Jose has scored 570 points on his math tests so far this semester. To get an A for the semester, he must score at least 660 points. Write and solve an inequality to find the minimum number of points he must score on the remaining tests, n, in order to get an A.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's start by defining a variable to represent the minimum number of points that Jose must score on the remaining tests:

n = minimum number of points Jose must score on the remaining tests

To get an A for the semester, Jose must score at least 660 points. We know that he has already scored 570 points, so the total number of points he needs to score is:

660 - 570 = 90

Therefore, we can write the following inequality to find the minimum number of points Jose must score on the remaining tests:

n ≥ 90

This means that Jose must score at least 90 points on the remaining tests to get an A for the semester.
