Hi,
*Note: Average of all four test must be 89 to get an A.
.
Let x be the score of the remaining test
.
question reads
%28%2875+%2B+95+%2B+90+%2B+x%29%2F4%29+=+89
.
simplify and solve
.
%2875+%2B+95+%2B+90+%2B+x%29+=+4%2A+89
.
%28260+%2B+x%29+=+356
.
x+=+96
.
check your answer
%28%28260%2B96%29%2F4%29=+89
