Answer:
f = 81.5
Step-by-step explanation:
hello!
to be able to find the score she needs to have a final grade of at least 80, we use the following equation:
To get rid of the denominator, we multiply both sides of the equation by 5. Once we do, 5 gets canceled and 80 * 5 = 400. Therefore:
237 + 2f = 400.
Transpose, then simplify.
2f = 400 – 237
2f = 163
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate f:
f = 81.5
