Answer:

805.5 out of 900

Explanation:

A test is out of 100 and because there are 9 tests: 9 x 100 which equals 900.

To get the average we add up each test mark and divide by the number of tests. The same can be applied here but reversed. So because there were 9 tests we can multiply 89.5 by 9 which gives us 805.5. Beverly scored 805.5 marks out of 900 which makes her average 89.5% for 9 tests.
