@mayankdevnani @Indigo @pooja195 @Slenderman

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

Add 88+84+88+91

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

351

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

Then when you get that number then add 96 and divide by 5

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

89

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

If thats not the correct answer then repeat the process except use 97 the next time.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

so its C correct :?

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

It will take a while but you should find your answer

OpenStudy (slenderman):

imma andromeda handle this one, lets see how it goes

OpenStudy (moldybubblegum12):

all you have to do is add the 4 numbers with each answer and divide them by 5

OpenStudy (moldybubblegum12):

its easy.

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

lol If I'm doing it wrong feel free to step in @Slenderman

OpenStudy (slenderman):

i will

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

which numbers do i add then divide 4? or 5?

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

88+84+88+91+98=89.8 So that is incorrect. It's not C

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

Divide by 5 because there are 5 different numbers

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

88+84+88+91+99= what?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

450

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

now divide it by 5

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

90

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

So whats your answer?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

None of them

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

lol no look at the equation

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

A?

OpenStudy (study.geek.123):

Let x represent her score on the next test. 88, 84, 88, 91, and x are 5 scores Take the sum of those numbers and divide by 5 Set that expression equal to 90. Solve for x to find the lowest score she can make and have an average of 90.

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

She had to get at least a 90. With those numbers thats what she got? Your answer is the the last equation I typed.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

D

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

Yes!

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

TY :D

OpenStudy (andromeda992):

OpenStudy (slenderman):
