Question

Charley's grade in the three quarters are 85, 88, and 92. If she targets to have an average

grade of greater than 90 in the four quarters this school year, what is the least grade she
should have for the fourth quarter?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can set up an average equation in the form, where x is the last score in the fourth quarter:

`(85 + 88 + 92 + x)/(4) = 90`

`85 + 88+92 + x =360\\\\x = 95`

She needs at least a 95 on the last quarter to average 90 in all four quarters.
