Question 98243: Extra Credit question I didnt get right. It was too much data and I got lost putting in the right form.
A student must receive between 86% and 89% of the total possible points in her algebra class to recieve a B+. If a total of 1600 points are possible, and she currently has 1250 points, what is the fewest number of additional points that will guarantee her a B+ for the course?

.86*1600=1376 POINTS NEEDED.
1376-1250=126 ADDITIONAL POINTS NEED TO GET THE MINIMUM 86% FOR A B+ SCORE.
