Question 833274: Gabriel earns 87% on his first geography test. He wants to keep a 92% average. What does he need
to get on his next test to bring his average up?

Assuming that both tests are weighted the same, Gabriel needs the following score:
87 + x 92*2 (2 scores)
87 + x = 184
Subtract 87 from each side
x = 97
