Question 270978: My sons math question is: Krishan wants his quiz average to be at least 90 so that he can get an A in the class. His current quiz scores are: 80, 100, 85. What does he have to get on his next quiz to have an average of 90?
A 85 B 90 C 92 D 95
I know how to solve it the long way, plugging in each number until I find the average...isn't there a short cut to it?

Average+=+%28TotalOfAllTestScores%29%2F%28NumberOfTests%29
90+=+%2880%2B100%2B85%2Bx%29%2F4
360+=+265%2Bx
95+=+x
good luck Krishan
