The number of points Marco needs to bring his average up to 90% is 15points.

If there's a possible 25 possible points, and Marco has taken 5 quizzes;

Evidently, each quiz has weighs 5 points.

Mathematically;

[tex] \frac{21 + 5x}{5(5 + x)} \times 100\% = \frac{90}{100} [/tex]

  • 2100 + 500x = 2250 + 450x
