Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{At least an } 87\%}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find what score Alex must earn to have an average of 86 on all his tests, we need to first note what the formula to find the average of a data set is.

\displaystyle \frac{x_1+x_2+...x_n}{n}

What the formula means is that we have to add up all the values then divide by the total number of values.

Let's represent our unknown number as x.

\displaystyle \frac{98+72+87+x}{4} \geq 86 (since we want AT LEAST an 86).

Let's solve this inequality for x.

  • \frac{98+72+87+x}{4} \cdot 4 \geq 86 \cdot 4
  • 98+72+87+x \geq 344
  • 257 + x \geq 344
  • 257 + x  - 257 \geq 344 - 257
  • x \geq 87

So, Alex must score at least an 87% on his next quiz to have an average of 86%.

Hope this helped!

Match the angles that are greater than 90° with their reference angles.
storchak [24]
For angles in first quadrant, the reference angle is itself. In second quadrant, the equation would be 180 - x where x is the measure of the angle. In third quadrant, x - 180. Lastly, in the fourth quadrant, the reference angle is 360 - x. From the second set of angles in the given, the reference angles are.
              (1) 135 ; RA = 180 - 135 = 45
              (2) 240; RA = 240 - 180 = 60
              (3) 270; RA = 90 (lies in the y - axis)
              (4) 330; RA = 360 - 330 = 30
