Question 625406: I have to write a formula.
In order to have an average of 85, Maia must earn at least a 76 and no more than a 95 on her final exam. If M represents the final exam grade, write a compound inequality representing the grades needed for an 85 average.

Must be no more than 95 can be written as M%3C=95 because if M is no more than 95 it must be 95 or less than 95.
M must be at least 76 can be written as M%3E=76 or 76%3C=M.
(I like the signs in my compound inequalities to be < , so I favor the second option).

Putting the two inequalities together:
highlight%2876%3C=M%3C=95%29
