Question

Wade has a test score of 77% on his first test and 65% on his second test. What must he score on a third test to have an average of 80% overall?

93%
98%
89%
None of these choices are correct.

Answer 1

Answer: 98%

Explanation:

• The third test score = x

`(77+65+x)/(3) =80\\(142+x)/(3) =80\\142+x=80*3\\x=240-142=98`
