Answer:

total points on the 4 tests- 94x4= 376

376- 85= 291

291/3= D. 97

Answer:

D. 97

Step-by-step explanation:

x = sum of 4 test grades Jared received

[tex]\frac{x}{4} = 94[/tex]

x = 376

If he drops lowest test grade of 85, then subtract 85 from Jared's sum of all test grades:

x - 85 --> 376 - 85

= 291

Now that one of his test grades are not considered, this means there are only 3 test grades to consider.

291 must be divided by 3 to get the average:

[tex]\frac{291}{3}[/tex] = 97

The answer is D) 97
