Answer:

TO GET AC IN THE CLASS Aaron HAS TO SCORE 72 IN HIS THIRD TEST .

Explanation:

Aaron scores in first test = 89 .

Aaron scores in second test = 67 .

Let Aaron scores in third test = x .

To get AC in the class Aaron has to score a average of 76 .

So we can find the ' x ' in this way ,


= (89 + 67 + x)/(3) = 76 .

⇒ x = 72 .

SO TO GET AC IN THE CLASS Aaron HAS TO SCORE 72 IN HIS THIRD TEST .
