93 points

Respuesta :

(45+48+56+91)/4=60
answer:91

Answer:

She should get 91 scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the score meg get on fourth test,

Given,

She scored 45, 48, and 56 points on three tests.

Thus, the total sum of the scores in four test = 45 + 48 + 56 + x

= 149 + x

Also, the number of tests = 4,

[tex]\implies \text{Average score in 4 tests}=\frac{\text{Total sum}}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{149+x}{4}[/tex]

According to the question,

[tex]\frac{149+x}{4}=60[/tex]

[tex]149+x=240[/tex]    ( By Cross multiplication )

[tex]x=91[/tex]               ( Subtracting 149 on both sides )

Hence, she should get 91 scores on the fourth test to get an average score of 60.
