I NEED help please!!!!!!!! GIVING FAN AND MEDAL!!!! You are studying for your final exam of the semester. Up to this point, you receive 3 exam scores of 92%, 95% and 73%. To receive a grade A in the class, you must have an average exam score between 90% and 100% for all for exams including the final. Find the widest range of scores that you can get on the final exam in order to get and A for the class. Use interval notation. A) (96,97) B) (92,100) C) (100,100)

set inequality for average the final test as x do you know how?

OpenStudy (rosales0228):

No...:(

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Okay! you have 4 exams to get A we know the scores of the 3 exam, we are missing one that one we are trying to find

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now! we know that in order to get A your average has to be btw 90 to 100 right

OpenStudy (rosales0228):

right!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the way we do average is like this first score+second score+ third score+firth score all divided by 4 so (92+95+73+x)/4 x is the score for the final exam that we don't know

OpenStudy (rosales0228):

65 right??

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now we translate that word problem into algebra 90<= (92+95+73+x)/4<=100

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

No! you need to solve this inequality
