Jessica is getting ready she needs to have an overall grade of 85 in her math class to qualify for the college that she wished to attend her math grade is based solely on her scores on 6 exams on the first 5 exams her scores we're 87 81 85 90 78 write an inequality that represents her predicament what does her score does she need to get on her last test to qualify

Her average so far is the sum of the five scores divided by the number of tests she has taken so far.

(87 + 81 + 85 + 90 + 78)/5 = 84.2

(87 + 81 + 85 + 90 + 78)/5 < 85 :(

She will not get into that college if she doesn't increase her average on the last test.

85 - 84.2 = 0.8

0.8(5) = 4.0

On her last test, she needs to score 4 points higher than her current average in order to get into the college.

84.2 + 4 = 88.2

Jessica needs to score at least 88.2 on her last test.

17   x 256=4352

sorry if this is wrong, i'm new.

step-by-step explanation:

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

hope it
