If I don't know what was before the comma in M(, –1) I can't solve this
The correct answer is C. Side “a” is always longer than side “b”.
The trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.
You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.
We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:
0.88*150 = 132
0.94*150 = 141
0.9*150 = 135
The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:
150+150+150+250 = 700
93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.
Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651
408 + x = 651
Subtract 408 from both sides:
408+x-408 = 651-408
x = 243
