84 + 89 + 90 = 263 points

400 = total possible points

0.7 * 400 = 280 needed for a C
0.8 * 400 = _____ needed for a B
0.9 * 400 = _____ needed for an A

sorry but I did not, I worked out what you posted and entered them in online and my answers were rejected.

ps. i didn't realize I could respond to you on this
Answered by Ms. Sue
You didn't complete the problem.

For a C, 280 points are needed. Since Joe already has 263 points, he only needs 17 points on the last test for a C.

For a B, 320 points are needed.
320 - 263 = 57 needed

For an A -- 360 points are needed.
360 - 263 = ?
