Answer:
a: 162
b: 142
Step-by-step explanation:
a: december 1=2
a: december 2=6
a: december 3 = 6 x 3 = 18
a: december 4 = 18 x 3 =54
a: december 5 = 54 x 3 =162
~ triples the number of newspapers means "x3" ~
so on the last day, 162 newspapers
B: sum up all the newspapers:
2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + 162
= 8 + 18 + 54 + 162
= 26 + 54 + 162
= 80 + 162
= 242 all in total newspapers
X= grade on next test
Add up all scores, divide by 6 and this equals the average of 84
(86 + 91 + 86 + 61 + 87 + x)/6= 84
add in parentheses
(411 + x)/6= 84
multiply both sides by 6
411 + x= 504
subtract 411 from both sides
x= 93
ANSWER: 93 is needed on the next test to have an average of 84
Hope this helps! :)
