500
Mrs. Obermueller gave her 25 students a challenge. For the next 3 weeks, each student who earned 90% or better on the weekly math quiz would receive 5 points. If the class as a whole earned 300 points in 3 weeks, she would treat them all to pizza.
The first week, 18 students scored 90% or better. The second week, 20 students scored 90% or better, and the third week, all the students scored over 90%.
Did the class get its pizza? How do you know?
YES!!! The class earned 315 points by getting
(18students x 5points)+(20students x 5points)+(25students x 5points)= 90+100+125 = 315 points!!
They only needed 300 points to reach their goal, they earned 15 EXTRA points!!
