Question 4636: (Please show steps and explain):
Namid had an average of 74 on four history tests. What score does he have to get on the 100-point final exam if it counts double and he wants to have an average of 80 or better?

on the 4 test so far, he has averaged 4*74 --> 296 marks out of 400.

We need to find the score on the final exam (out of 100) to bring his average up to 80% or better. And this final exam is counted double:

so,

2x = 480-296
2x = 184
so x = 92
