Alissa has test grades of 90, 87, and 79 on her first three algebra tests. If she wants an average of at least 80 after her fourth test, what are the possible scores she can make on the fourth test?
.
Let x = score on fourth test
then
(x+90+87+79)/4 >= 80
(x+256)/4 >= 80
x+256 >= 320
x >= 64
The score on her fourth test must be "greater than or equal" to 64
