Ella’s test grades in her history class are 89, 94, 82, 84, and 98. What score must Ella make on her next test to have a mean test score of 90?
Solution:
Let x = Ella's last score
We want %2889%2B94%2B82%2B84%2B98%2Bx%29%2F6+=+90
Multiply both sides by 6
89 + 94 + 82 + 84 + 98 + x = 540
447 + x = 540
x = 93
