Question 787142: Linh has obtained scores of 88, 73, and 71 on her midterm algebra exams. If the final exam counts twice as much as a midterm, what score must she make on her final exam to get an average score of 80? (Assume that the maximum possible score on each test is 100.)

Average required for 4 exams = 80
Total marks required for 4 exams = 320.
Total of marks achieved so far = 232
300 - 232 = 88.
So, Linh would require to score 88/100
for the 4th exam to achieve an average of 80
for all 4 exams.
Hope this helps.
