John has 1121 points in his math class.
\n" ); document.write( " He must have 88% of the 1400 points possible by the end of the term to receive credit for the class.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the minimum number of additional points he must earn by the end of the term to receive credit for the class??
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = no. of additional points required to accomplish this
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x + 1121 => .88(1400)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x + 1121 => 1232
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x => 1232 - 1121
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "x => 111 points minimum
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "111 + 1121 = .88(1400)
\n" ); document.write( "1232 = 1232
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "He must make at least 111 more points to get a grade of at least 88% \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
