Claudia has test scores of 78, 88, 84, 92, 76, 98. If she wants to end up with a ''B'' average, what does she need to score on her next test?

Joe made 15 points in a basketball game, 3 points are given for a long shot, 2 points given for a field goal, and 1 point is given for a free throw. In how many ways can Joe score 15 points?

If the lowest grade for a B average is 80, then she needs a total of 7 * 80.

Add the scores she has and subtract the sum from the product above to find the lowest score she needs for the next text.
7*80 = 560

the scores make a total of 516

560 - 516 = 44 <-- Is this correct?

Steve said it's not correct I don't see how it's not if I did exactly what you said. & I checked the multiplication several times, so?

Can you please just help me and reply with the 2nd problem, Joe made 15 points...
Yes, she needs 44.
Why won't you show me what to do for the second one!
