Answer:  74

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Homework +    Quiz    +   Test    + Final Exam = 70

  67(10%)    + 62(15%)  + 71(50%) +    x(25%)    = 70

   6.7           +    9.3      +   35.5    +      0.25x     = 70

                                                      51.5 + 0.25x = 70

                                                                 0.25x = 18.5

                                                                        x = 74

The minimum score is 74.

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 74

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the minimum score a student needs to score on the final exam to earn at least a 70 for the final course grade, we will multiply the student's scores with their respective weight-age.

Supposing the minimum score in the final exam to be x, we can write an equation:

Homework + quizzes + tests + final exam = 70

67(10%) + 62(15%) + 71(50%) + x(25%) = 70

6.7 + 9.3 + 35.5 + 0.25x = 70

51.5 + 0.25x = 70

0.25x = 18.5

x = 74

A car covered a certain distance at a speed of 24 mph. While returning, the car covered the same distance at a speed of 16 mph.
igomit [66]
Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.

If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:

(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph

However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:

(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)

Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.
