Pre-algebra math word problems

Question

Vanessa must earn at least 360 points to make an A in her pre-algebra class. If she can currently has scores of 82, 91, and 89 points from her three lasts test, how many more points does she need to make an A

Answer 1

Let’s Try to understand the problem here.

we have to find the value of x, so that

x + (sun of scores from 3 tests) should be at least 360

when you say at least 360, any value that’s equation 360 or above 360 should be good to get an A grade.

so you write the inequality

x +(82+91+89) >= 360

x + 262 >= 360

x >= 360-262

x>=98

hope this helps!
