Answer:
Tyler got 80%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent Tyler’s average by t.
Then .94 + .78 + .83 + t
————————– = 83.75%
4
Multiplying both sides by 4, we get 2.55 + t = 3.35
so that t = 3.35 – 2.55 = 0.80
Tyler got 80%.
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the 4 grades equals 4 times the average
94 + 78 + 83 + T = 4 * 83.75
94 + 78 + 83 + T = 335
255 + T = 335
Subtract 255 from both sides
T = 80
