For a final average of 92.5 or more,
\n" ); document.write( "the sum of scores for all four exams must be $\"4%2A92.5=370\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The three scores Steve already has add up to
\n" ); document.write( " $\"96%2B85%2B89=270\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The score Steve needs for the fourth exam is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"370-270=highlight%28100%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "If Steve gets a score of 100 in the fourth exam,
\n" ); document.write( "his average will be $\"%2896%2B85%2B89%2B100%29%2F4=92.5\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "and that will hopefully be rounded up to 93.
\n" ); document.write( "If he gets 99 in the fourth exam,
\n" ); document.write( "his average will be $\"%2896%2B85%2B89%2B100%29%2F4=92.25\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "which should be rounded down to 92. \n" ); document.write( "
