To find an average you take the numbers to be averaged and add them together then You take the number and divide it by the number of numbers, in this case 4, and that gives you the average.
on this problem you want to do the opposite. you know the average she wants, an 87, so you multiply it by 4. 87*4=348. then you add the three numbers you have (88,81 and 87) and you get 256.
then you subtract 256 from 348 and you get 92. 92 is your answer to check just add 87+81+88+92=348
348/4=87
87 was the average she wanted.
Hope this helped! good luck :)

How might you solve a problem that has both a fraction and a decimal in it
Anni [7]
Well, one way is to convert one of the numbers to the other. For example, if I have 3/5 and 0.5, I could convert 3/5 to a decimal. So, I would have 0.6 (3/5 converted to a decimal), and 0.5. Next, I would just add the two together to get my answer of 1.1

Drupady [299]
For the answer to the question above asking to f<span>ind the coordinates of Z without using any new variables.

Vector WZ equals vector VP, which is (p, -q) 
So Z is (-p - r + p, q - q) which is (-r, 0)
I hope my answer helped you.
