Hi,

first four tests(80% of grade) were 76%,65%,90%, and 80%   Average = 77.75

student must have an average(the mean) on five tests that is greater than 

or equal to 80% but less than 90% to recieve a final grade of a B

 .80(77.75) + .20x ≥ .80

               .20x ≥ 80 - 62.8

                  x ≥ 17.2/.2

                  x ≥ 86  ***** B the highest grade possible



              .20x < 90 - 62.8

                 x ≥ 27.2/.2

                  x ≥ 138%
