Answer 1

Answer:  C) 98

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let x be the next test grade. It ranges from 0 to 100, inclusive of both endpoints.

The original set {87,92,90,84,88,91} becomes {87,92,90,84,88,91,x} after adding on that score.

We have 7 scores now. We find the average by adding up those seven scores and dividing by 7.

average = (sum of the scores)/(number of scores)

average = (87+92+90+84+88+91+x)/7

average = (532+x)/7

We want the average to be 90 or higher, so we would then have these steps

$\text{average} \ge 90\\\\\frac{532+x}{7} \ge 90\\\\532+x \ge 90*7\\\\532+x \ge 630\\\\x \ge 630-532\\\\x \ge 98$

This means Edgar must score a 98 or higher on the seventh test in order for his overall average to be 90 or higher.

In other words, the lowest test score he can get is a 98.

------------------

Extra info (optional section):

Let's say Edgar gets the highest score possible.

So he gets x = 100

This would mean

average = (87+92+90+84+88+91+x)/7

average = (532+x)/7

average = (532+100)/7

average = 632/7

average = 90.2857 which is approximate

We can see that his overall average would stick to 90 if the teacher is rounding to the nearest whole number.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. 98

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add all of his previous test scores and go through the list of numbers you get C.98 as the answer. I added all of his test scores plus 98 which equals 630 divided by 7 (because if he got a 98 there would be 7 test scores) you would get 90 or an A average.
