Question

A student has received the following test scores: 71%, 89%, 72%,

Answer 1

Answer: 81%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a student received the following test scores: 71%, 89%, 72%,

84% and 83% in 5 tests and the student wants to maintain an average of 80%.

The lowest score/grade they can receive on the next test to maintain at least an 80% average first thus:

First, to make it easy we can remove the percent sign. Then we multiply 80 by 6 since we're calculating for 6 tests scores. This will be:

= 80 × 6

= 480

We then add all the 5 test scores. This will be:

= 71 + 89 + 72 + 84 + 83

= 399

We then subtract the values gotten. This will be:

= 480 - 399

= 81

This means the student must get at least 81%
