Question 896866: The grades for a course are based on 5 exams and 1 final exam. All six of these tests are worth 100 points. To receive an A in the course, you must earn
at least 552 points. Your grades on the 5 exams are as follows: 88, 96, 93, 91, and 89.
Write an inequality that represents the various grades you can earn on the fi nal exam
and still get an A. Solve the inequality Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 552/6=92
You need an overall average of 92
So far you have 457 points
552-457=95
You need at last 95 points
(457+x)/6>=92
92-88=4
92-96=-4
93-92=1
91-92=-1
89-92=-3
You are three short of 92 so you need at least 95 to get your A.
