Erin wants to raise her math grade to a 95 to improve her chances of winning a math scholarship. her math average for the last marking period was an 81. erin decides she must raise her math average by 15% to meet her goal. do you agree? why or why not?

No i do not agree. 15% of 81 is 12.15. This is lower than 14, which is the difference between 95 and 81.

Step-by-step explanation:

If she wants to get 95 as a means of improving her chance of getting the scholarship, and her average for the last marking period was 81 then she must improve her average by the difference between 95 and 81.

This difference is

= 95 - 81

= 14

If she decides to raise her average by 15% then the absolute figure

= 15% × 81

= 12.15

15% of her average score in the last period is not up to 14 as such i do not agree with her.

faster, im not sure why but i know it is faster
