Question

Jacqueline has grades of 84 and 77 on her first two algebra tests. If she wants an average of at least 79 what possible scores can she make on her third test

Answer 1

Let's assume that Jacqueline's score on her third test is x.

To find out what score Jacqueline needs to get an average of at least 79, we can use the formula for the average of three numbers:

(84 + 77 + x) / 3 >= 79

Multiplying both sides by 3, we get:

84 + 77 + x >= 237

Combining like terms, we get:

x >= 76

Therefore, Jacqueline needs to get a score of at least 76 on her third test to achieve an average of at least 79.
