Question 1015548: To receive a C grade, a student must average more than 77 but less than or equal to 85. If Noah received a C in the course and had five grades of 79, 85, 75, 66, and 79 before taking the final exam, what were the possible grades for his final if there were 100 points possible? (Assume all six grades are weighted equally and let x represent the unknown score.)

The sum of grades to average 77 is 462. (6 x 77).

his possible scores are greater than 78. (to 100)
