he does not have a chance, even if he scores 100 percent on his last test his overall afterage will be 89.4
remember how to do averages, add up all the numbers you have, then divide that number by the number of numbers you have...
example...
the average of 34, 23, 54, 86, and 45 .... add them all up to get 242 there are 5 numbers so divide 242 by 5 to get the average, 48.4
