Jerry had an average score of 85 on his first 8 quizzes. He had an average score of 81 on his first nine quizzes. What score did he earn on his ninth quiz? side note: I got 49 the first time i tried it but when i checked it, it was wronfg

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Well, let's calculate how many points in total he got so far!

He did 8 quizzes, on average 85 points: 85*8=680 points.

He scored a number of points in his ninth quiz, let's call this number "x".

If we want to calculate the average after the ninth quiz, we take the sum of points then (which is 680+x) and we divide it by 9:

(680+x)/9

we also know that this is equal to 81:

(680+x)/9=81

((680+x))/(9)=81

multiply both sides by 9:

(680+x)}=729

substracting 680 from both sides:

x=49

well, i got 49 too.

I really can't see where the mistake could be?

where did you check it? my best guess is that the place where you checked it had a typo...?

Which is the graph of y = |3x| - 2?

Answers

Answer: the third graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so one way to do this is by plugging in points which is long but easiest. So since it’s the absolute value, whenever it passes the y- axis to the negative side, it will go up. So we know it’s either the third or last. The y intercept is -2, and the graph with that is the third.

Answer:

The third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

If product of mean = product of extreme, then ratios are equivalent.

18 : 12  ::   16:20

Product of mean = 12 * 16 = 192

Product of extreme = 18 * 20 = 360
