Answer:
He would need a score of 0.8 = 80%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average score:
The average score is the sum of all scores divided by the number of tests.
What score would he need on his next test if the test scores he has so far are: 70%, 105%, 75%, 90%, 90%?
Combining with the next text, there will be 6, and the sum will be: 0.7 + 1.05 + 0.75 + 0.9 + 0.9 + x = 4.3 + x.
Joe wants his overall test average to be 85%.
So
[tex]\frac{4.3 + x}{6} = 0.85[/tex]
[tex]4.3 + x = 5.1[/tex]
[tex]x = 5.1 - 4.3 = 0.8[/tex]
He would need a score of 0.8 = 80%.
