document.write( "Question 1140893: In a class in which the final course grade depends entirely on the average of four equally weighted 100-point tests, Paul has scored 82, 88, and 87 on the first three. What range of scores on the fourth test will give Paul a C for the semester (an average between 70 and 79, inclusive)? Assume that all test scores have a non-negative value. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2A70%3C=%2882%2B88%2B87%2Bx%29%3C=4%2A79\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"280%3C=257%2Bx%3C=316\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"23%3C=x%3C=59\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: [23,59]

\n" ); document.write( "Note the stated condition for getting a C is probably not correct. The statement says a C grade means an average in the interval [70,79]; probably the correct interval for getting a C grade is [70,80).

\n" ); document.write( "That will of course change the answer to the problem slightly.
