1. In a certain Algebra class there is a total of 350 possible points. These points come from 5 homework sets that are worth 10 points each and 3 hour exams that are worth 100 points each. A student has received homework scores of 4, 8, 7, 7, and 9 and the first two exam scores are 78 and 83. Assuming that grades are assigned according to the standard scale and there are no weights assigned to any of the grades is it possible for the student to receive an A in the class and if so what is the minimum score on the third exam that will give an A? What about a B?

a. All that the student will need to do is get at least an 84 on the third exam.
b. All that the student will need to do is get at least an 83 on the third exam.
c. All that the student will need to do is get at least an 42 on the third exam.

a. So, it looks like the height of the set of shelves should be 1 feet
b. So, it looks like the height of the set of shelves should be 4 feet

3. A calculator has been marked up 15% and is being sold for $78.50. How much did the store pay the manufacturer of the calculator?

a. The store paid $68.27for the calculator
b. The store paid $46.26 for the calculator

1. Assuming that grades are assigned according to the standard scale and there are no weights assigned to any of the grades, the student can receive an A in the class in this way:

a. All that the student will need to do is get at least an 84 on the third exam.

What is the standard score for an A?

The standard score for an A is 80% of the total points or at least 280 points (350 x 80%).

Thus, the student requires 84 points in the third exam to get an A but only 49 points to get a B.

Data and Calculations:

Total score by the student from homework = 35 (4, 8, 7, 7, and 9)
Total score from two exams = 161 (78 + 83)
Total scores from homework and two exams = 196 (35 + 161)
Number of scores required in the third exam to get an A = 84 (280 - 196)
Number of scores required in the third exam to get a B = 49 (2845 - 196)

2. If there are 72 feet of wood to use to build the set of shelves, the dimensions of the set of shelves should be 4 feet in width and 1-foot in height.

a. So, it looks like the height of the set of shelves should be 1 foot.

What is a dimension?

A dimension represents the length, breadth, depth, or height of some object.

3. The amount that the store paid the manufacturer of the calculator is given as c. The store paid $68.26 for the calculator.

Data and Calculations:

Selling price per calculator = $78.50
Markup margin = 15%
Manufacturer's selling price = $68.26 ($78.50/1.15)

What is the markup ratio?

Markup is the marginal ratio that is added to the cost price to arrive at the retail price of a product.

Thus, the markup ratio is always computed on the cost of goods sold and not on the sales price.
