Short answer: 98
Remark
when you have an average of 71, it's like saying that you took 4 quizzes and got 71 on all of them.
Step One
Find the total point count for the 4 quizzes.
T_4 = 71 * 4 = 284
Step Two
Create an equation that will give you the necessary point count to average 86.
284 + 5*x = 86 * 9
Why did we do this? It is because you have 9 quizzes altogether. All nine must be something that gives a point count of 86 on each quiz. You have to put together 9 such quizzes with a total count of 774.
Step three
Solve the equation.
284 + 5x = 774 Subtract 284 from both sides.
5x = 774 - 284
5x = 490 Divide by 5
x = 490/5
x = 98
You must get an average of 98 on the next 5 quizzes

Answer:
44/55
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
26.2 ft below the surface of the ocean
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that the diver went 25.55 feet below the surface of the ocean. It means that the diver's distance with respect to surface of ocean will be = -25.55 ft
Now, the diver went down a further 13.5 feet, it means that the diver's distance with respect to surface of ocean will be = -13.5 ft
The diver now rose 12.85 feet which is upwards. It means that the diver's distance with respect to surface of ocean will be = +12.85 ft.
Thus, if his new depth is denoted by y, then the expression to denote this new depth is;
y = -25.55 - 13.5 + 12.85
y = -26.2 ft
Thus, the divers new depth is 26.2 ft below the surface of the ocean
