Margaret has an average of 88 on her four calculus exams. To get an A, she must have a 90 average. What grade must she get on the next exam to bring her average up to 90?

(A) 90
(B) 92
(C) 94
(D) 96
(E) 98
Solution:

  • Currently:
    • Total marks in 4 exams \(=4\times 88=352\)
  • Desired:
    • Total marks in 5 exams \(=5\times 90=450\)

  • Let the marks on 5th exam be \(x\)
  • Thus, we can say \(352+x=450\)
  • Or \(x=98\)

Hence the right answer is Option E
