Algebra.Com's Answer #492128 by FightinBlueHens(27)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first 3 tests that Kiana took, when divided by 3, gives you an average of 89, so if you multiply 89 by 3, you'll find Kiana's score for the first 3 tests added together. \n" ); document.write( "You need to find what percent Kiana got on her 4th test so you can divide it by 4, to get the new average, which is 91. \n" ); document.write( "So if the total score after 3 tests is 89x3, that is 267. \n" ); document.write( "267+y is the total score of Kiana's 4 tests. \n" ); document.write( "(267+y)/4 is the average of the 4 tests Kiana took, and we know that that's 91, so \n" ); document.write( "(267+y)/4=91, so you just have to solve for y, which is her new score. \n" ); document.write( "267+y=91*4 \n" ); document.write( "91*4=364 \n" ); document.write( "267+y=364 \n" ); document.write( "y=97 \n" ); document.write( " |
