Answer:

68 to 82 Points.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the range of scores that Marjorie needs to have to stay in the 70 to 79 range we first need to define the variables that we need to find.

Let x = Score that Marjorie needs

Since the exam is worth 6 exams, we will then use 6x to denote the weight of the final exam.

Now we need to add all the other exams and divide it to the number of exams.

\dfrac{6x + 71 + 77 + 72}{9}

\dfrac{6x + 220}{9}

Now let's look for the score that Marjorie needs to get a 70 average.

\dfrac{6x + 220}{9}=70

We begin by multiplying both sides by 9 to remove to begin solving for x.

6x+220=(9)70

6x+220=630

6x=630-220

\dfrac{6x}{6} =\dfrac{410}{6}

x=68.33

So the minimum score that Marjorie needs is 68.

Now let's look for the score that Marjorie needs to get to a 79 average.

We still use the same values except the average.

\dfrac{6x + 220}{9}=79

We begin by multiplying both sides by 9 to remove to begin solving for x.

6x+220=(9)79

6x+220=711

6x=711-220

\dfrac{6x}{6} =\dfrac{491}{6}

x=81.83 or {tex}82[/tex]

So the range of scores that Marjorie needs to get an average of 70 to 79 is 68 to 82 Points.
