A student has scored an average of 87 on seven tests.
\n" ); document.write( " To get an A in the class, she must have an average of 90 or greater on a total of ten tests.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the greatest integer average the student could receive on the next three tests WITHOUT getting an A in the class?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the av of the last 3 tests, which will be less than a 90 av
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%287%2887%29+%2B+3x%29%2F10\" < 90
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 10
\n" ); document.write( "609 + 3x < 900
\n" ); document.write( "3x < 900 - 609
\n" ); document.write( "3x < 291
\n" ); document.write( "x < \"291%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "x < 97, she would have av less than 97 on the last 3 tests, in order to escape getting an A
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The integer value would be 98.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
