Question

In order to take honors-level math, Lisa must have an average of 85 on her math tests. Her scores so far are 85, 70, and 98. What is the

minimum score Lisa needs on the fourth test to get into honors math dass?
A 80
B 84
C. 85
D. 87

Answer 1

d) 87

Explanation:

to solve this lets set up the equation

`(85+70+98+x)/(4) =85\\(253+x)/(4) =85`

then we multiply 4 on both sides

253+x=340

and subtract 253 on both sides

x=87

to double check take the averages

(87+85+70+98)/4=85
