Remember, the average of "x" scores is simply the sum of those scores over "x".


In this case, we have the scores: 88,78,86, and 100


So add them up and divide them by 4 (the number of scores present)





So if you receive a perfect score on the final exam, you will get an 88.


Since , this means that it is NOT possible to get an A.
