3. Jason had to submit five animation projects as per his syllabus in the final semesters. He scored 82, 85, 78, and 88 points out of 100 in four projects. What should be his score in the fifth project so that the average of all the projects is at least 85?
Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(82+85+78+88+x)/5>=85
(33+x)/5>=85
33+x>=5*85
33+x>=425
x>=425-333
x>=92 is the minimum grade on the last test to maintain at least an 85 average.
