So consider that you have: \[ 4+4+4+3+2+x \]Where \(x\) is the next grade they get. now the average is computed by: \[ \frac{4+4+4+3+2+x}{6} \]Since we want a GPA higher or equal to \(3.5\), then: \[ \frac{4+4+4+3+2+x}{6} \ge 3.5 \]So now we have to solve for \(x\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is \[ \frac{x+17}{6}\ge 3.5 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Next we multiply by \(6\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ x+17\ge 21 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, \(x\ge 4\). So that means they must get an A or higher.

Your attitude of ignoring the process and just trying to get an answer is going to harm you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, if you understand what I was doing, you should understand the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And instead of saying "so what is the answer" you should just stick with giving what you think the answer is, the reason why you think it is the answer, and asking for confirmation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They ask for minimum grade, so since it must be A or higher, that would make A the minimum grade.
