I have 4 math test this quarter, so far I have made a 80,73, and 60. If I want to have at least an average of 78, what is the lowest grade I can make.
--------------------
Points you have:: 80+73+60 = 213
Points you need:: 4*78 = 312
Points you need on 4th test:: 312-213 = 99
------
Let the 4th test score be x::
213+x = 4*78
x = 312-213 = 99
---------------
