x1 = 77
x2 = 79
x3 = 95
x4 = 93
averagge of five exam:
( x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 ) / 5 = 80
( 77 + 79 + 95 + 93 + x5 ) / 5 = 80
( 344 + x5 ) / 5 = 80 Multiply both sides by 5
344 + x5 = 80 * 5
344 + x5 = 400 Subtract 344 to both sides
x5 = 400 - 344 = 56
Answer:
Greater or equal 56
Proof :
( x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 ) / 5 =
( 77 + 79 + 95 + 93 + 56 ) / 5 =
400 / 5 = 80
x2 = 79
x3 = 95
x4 = 93

Katie must get 56 or more because ...
1) 77 77
2) 79 79
3) 95 95
4) 93 + 93
-------
344+56= 400
Divide 400 by 5 which equals 80
1) 77 77
2) 79 79
3) 95 95
4) 93 + 93
-------
344+56= 400
Divide 400 by 5 which equals 80
