John's average in mathematics is now 80 and he has one final test left to take that will count 10% of his grade.
What is the minimum score must he get on his final in order to average at least 82 for the entire course?
:
let x = the score required on his final to get an 82 average
%28%289%2A80%29+%2B+x%29%2F10 = 82
multiply by 10, to clear the denominator
720 + x = 820
x = 820 - 720
x = 100% he has to get to average an 82
