Question

Marcus has earned 353 out of 400 points (88% or B+) in Math class. He needs 90% to earn an A-. There is one test left worth 100 points. How many points does Marcus need on the test to raise his grade to an A-?

Answer 1

Answer:

97

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcus is aiming for an A- (90-94 percent). The question states that there is another test awaiting that is worth 100 points. In order to find the answer to the question, you need to:

1.) Add 400 + 100, to show how many points there are in total.

2.) Use the answer choices and add it to 353.

88 + 353 = 441

93 + 353 = 446

97 + 353 = 450

3.) Find the percentage of the sums.

441/500 = 88%

446/500 = 89%

450/500 = 90%

Since Marcus is aiming for an A-, we can conclude that obtaining 97 points will help Marcus achieve an A-.
