Hamilton received a 75 on his algebra exam. The professor is allowing students to take a 7-question bonus quiz to improve their
algebra exam score. Each question answered correctly on the bonus quiz will add 3 points to the exam score. Hamilton needs to receive at least a 90 on his exam score in order to make an "A" for the semester. If x represents the number of questions answered correctly on the bonus quiz, which of the following inequalities symbolizes this situation? A. 3x + 75 < 90
B. 7x + 75 > 90
C. 3x + 75 > 90
D. 7x + 75 < 90
Since each question answered right would add 3 points, the amount of questions answered correctly would be x. You then going to add that to his original score, 75. He needs at least a 90, so 90 is the lowest test grade he can afford. Therefore, 90 is should be the greatest number since there are no less than, equal to and such. Knowing that, the answer would be A
