Question 330938
Jim has gotten scores of 88 and 69 on his first two tests. What score must he get on his third test to keep an average of 85 or greater?
------------
Let the 3rd test score be "x":
Equation:
(88+69+x)/3 >= 85
157+x >= 260
x >= 103
=============
Note: He cannot reach an average of 85.
