Answer:
Sandra need to score at least <u>56%</u> in her fifth test so that her average is 80%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
First 4 test scores = 87%, 92%, 76%,89%
Average targeted = 80%
We need to find the minimum score she needs to make on fifth test to achieve average of at least 80%.
Solution:
Let the minimum score she needs to make in fifth test be 'x'.
Total number of test = 5
Now we know that;
Average is equal to sum of all the scores in the test divided by number of test.
framing in equation form we get;
Multiplying both side by 5 we get;
Subtracting both side by 344 we get;
Hence Sandra need to score at least <u>56%</u> in her fifth test so that her average is 80%.
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
The correct sequence of operations when solving negative one over five (x − 25) = 7 would be multiply each side by −5, and adding 25 to each side.
