Erica has math test scores of 93, 86, 82, 85, 77, and 89. The final exam in the
math class is worth 15% of the grade. A final score of 90 is required to get an A.
Erica’s school rounds grades to the nearest whole number. If only her test
scores determine the remainder of her grade is it possible for Erica to get an A?
Explain.
No. You can actually solve this question without doing any math. Her only score that is above a 90 is 93, so it will be brought down lower than a 90 very easily by the 77 and the 82.
