1) Jay's test scores were 78,80,95, and 81. He took his last test for the quarter on Friday. What must he get to maintain a B average (between 80 and 89)
.
Since average is bet. 80-89, we'll use the 80 average (minimum) for the eqn. Atleast if he gets higher than this is better right?
, We'll do averaging,
, adding & cross multiply:
----> ---------> FINAL SCORE to get ave at least 80 and maintain average.
2) Ernie's average after 3 tests is at least 72%. If two of his test scores were 55 & 85, what could he have scored on his 3rd test?
Same thing,
, adding & cross multiply,
----> ------> FINAL SCORE to get 72 AVERAGE.
3) If the square patio has dimensions, the new dimensions now are:
----------> increased by 6'
------------> doubled
This becomes a rectangle now since it has 2 diff dimensions.
The with this you can get different orig. dimensions because the New Perimeter ranges from 30'-45'. Why? Simply we 'll base our computation in solving for for the New Perimeter.
Okay, we'll pick the New Perimeter as , then
-------------> --------->
SIZE of the orig square patio is based on the NEW PERIMETER of
Thank you,
