a student has an average of 76 on the first 5 quizzes, what average is needed on the next 5 quizzes to pull his quiz average up to an 80?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The student has an average of 76 on his first 5 quizzes. Remember that average is also known as mean. Mean is calculated by adding the values in a data set and dividing it by the amount of numbers you added.

In this case,the mean is 76. That means five numbers were added and divided by 5 and the quotient was 76.

$(x+x+x+x+x)/(5)=76$

You can find the dividend by cross multiplying.

$(x+x+x+x+x)/(5)=76 \rightarrow x+x+x+x+x=76 *5 \rightarrow 380$

The total points he got on his first 5 quizzes was 380.

If he wants to boost his average grade up to an 8 after taking another 5 quizzes, you need to multiply his average goal by the amount of quizzes, which is 10(5+5=10).

$80 * 10=800$

His total points after taking all his quizzes(that is, if he reached his goal) should be 800. Because he already took 5 quizzes and got a total score of 380, you're going to subtract 380 from 800 and divide it by the remaining quizzes left, which is 5.

First subtract 380 from 800:

$800-380=420$

That means his next 5 quizzes need to sum up to a total of 420 points. Since you're trying to find the average of his next 5 quizzes in order to average up to an 80, you need to divide 420 by 5(number of remaining quizzes).

Divide:

$420 / 5=84$

Your answer is 84(84%).

Step-by-step explanation:

372 : 5 = 74 r 2

74 : 5 = 14 r 4

14 : 5 = 2 r 4

2 : 5 = 0 r 2 ↑

write down the remainders in the reverse order

A caterer is planning a large dinner party for 385 guests. Each table must seat an equal number of gusts, more than 1 guest and fewer than 20. Determine the number of possible table sizes. If the caterers use 7-person tables, how many tables will they need?-Jarvis

Answers

Answer: The prime factorization of 1001 is 7*11*13, so with the constraint that the tables seat between 2 and 19 guests, we can use tables that seat either 7, 11, or 13 guests.

For tables that seat 7, the caterer would need 11*13 = 143 tables.

For tables that seat 11, the caterer would need 7*13 = 91 tables.

For tables that seat 13, the caterer would need 7*11 = 77 tables
