Question

On three science tests, Olivia has received scores of 89%, 98%, and 96%. What is the lowest score Olivia can get on her fourth and final science test to

achieve an average score of 95%?
A.94%
B.97%
C.96%
D.95%

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

To achieve an average of 95% on 4 tests, the sum of the scores Olivia gets must be 95 * 4 = 380. Right now, the sum of her scores is 89 + 98 + 96 = 283 so she must get at least a 380 - 283 = 97% on her last test.
