Respuesta :

80%.


Answer:

Amaya must get marks between 71 and 98 in order to get B grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Amaya's test scores in algebra 1 are 78 and 91.

Let she got x marks in third test

The average all the three test must be 80-89

i.e. [tex]80\leq\dfrac{78+91+x}{3}\leq 89[/tex]

Multiplying all sides by 3, we get

240≤ 78+91+x≤ 267

240≤ 169+x≤ 267

Subtracting all sides by 169, we get

71≤ x≤ 98

Hence, Amaya must get marks between 71 and 98 in order to get B grade
