Question

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

John has earned a 77, 76, and 84 on his first three projects of the semester.

He hopes to have an B quiz average (80 or above).

We need to find the lowest score John can make on his fourth and final project. Let the score is x.

Average = sum of numbers/total numbers

$80=\dfrac{77+76+84+x}{4}\\\\320=237+x\\\\x=83$

So, he must score 83 or more on his fourth project so as to make average 80 re above.
