Question 148572This question is from textbook
: Here is the question?
On five exams, Alex has scored 84, 86, 71, 91, and 98 points out of 100. He wants to earn at least a B in the course, which corresponds to an overall average grade of 82 or better. Out of 100 points, what is the minimum number of points Alex must earn on the final exam to achieve this goal?
Now i think on this you need to add up 84, 86, 71, 91, and 98 and than divide them by 5. This will give you the answer..Am i on the right track or totally off? Thank you

Question 150148: This problem is from a test. I have the solution, but I am unsure of where one of the numbers came from, so I would not be able to do a similiar problem on the final.
The class average on a math test was 82 out 100. The girls in the class scored 966 points. How many total points did the 8 boys score?
The solution I have looks like this:
966 + b/19 = 82
966 + b = 1558 (where does the 1558 come from?)
b = 592

: I'm not sure if this is where I need to ask for help with this problem but I would really be thankful for anyone's assistance.
A book is opened. The product of the two facing page numbers is 9506. What are the numbers of the pages? Explain.
I set it up like this:
9506/2 = 4753 since on page is even and the other odd numbered I then continued 4753-1 = 4752. The pages are numbered 4752 and 4753 but this equals 9505 so it is incorrect.
What do you think? Thanks
