After 4 tests this term Jessica had a 72% average.
\n" ); document.write( " He has 2 more tests left in the term.
\n" ); document.write( " What average score will Jessica need on the final 2 tests to bring his average to 80%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This means he will have a total of 6 tests
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = average grade on the final two tests
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%284%2872%29+%2B+2x%29%29%2F6\" = 80
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 6
\n" ); document.write( "4(72) + 2x = 6(80)
\n" ); document.write( "288 + 2x = 480
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 480-284
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 192
\n" ); document.write( "x = 192/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 96% av on the last two tests
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
