The semester average is computed by taking 1/3 of the midterm exam score plus 2/3 of the final exam score.
To get a C, Stacy must have a semester average between 70 and 79 inclusive.
If Stacy scored only 48 on the midterm, then for what range of scores on the final exam will Stacy get a C?
:
Let x = final exam score
Since it counts twice as much as the midterm, write
> 70
48 + 2x > 3(70)
48 + 2x > 210
2x > 210 - 48
2x > 162
x >
x > 81 to get an over 70 average
:
You can find the upper limit the same way; just solve
< 79
