Question

Tom scored 85, 78, and 98 on his first three exams in history class. Solving which inequality gives the score, G , on Tom&rsquo;s fourth exam that will result in a mean score on all four exams of at least 90 ?

Accepted Answer

Choice C is correct. The mean of the four scores ( G , 85, 78, and 98) can be expressed as . The inequality that expresses the condition that the mean score is at least 90 can therefore be written as . Choice A is incorrect. The sum of the scores ( G , 85, 78, and 98) isn&rsquo;t divided by 4 to express the mean. Choice B is incorrect and may be the result of an algebraic error when multiplying both sides of the inequality by 4. Choice D is incorrect because it doesn&rsquo;t include G in the mean with the other three scores.
