Question

Your math teacher is only giving three tests this quarter. They count equally and your quarter grade will be the average of the tests. You scored a 79% on the first test and an 84% on the second test. If your quarter grade is below a 75% you will be grounded from your phone. What scores will get you into trouble on your report card?

Answer 1

3 tests at 75% each = 3 x 75 = 225 total points

First two tests = 79 + 84 = 163

Third test needs to be at least: 225 - 163 = 62%

So any score less than 62 would get you into trouble.
