The average of Landry’s test scores must be at least 92 for her to make an A in Algebra class. She got a 95 on her first test. What grade can Landry get on her second test to make an A in the class?

Respuesta :

Average is determined by the sum of test scores divided by total number of tests. This can be represented in this equation:

95 + X / 2 = 92 ⇒ Multiply both sides by 2 to get of the divided by 2

95 + X /2 (2) = 92 (2)

95 + X = 184 ⇒ Subtract 95 from both sides to isolate x

95 -95 + X = 184 -95

X = 89

Therefore, they must get at least 89% to maintain an A.
