Answer:

95 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 370[/tex] --- expected point

See attachment for points

Required

An inequality to determine the points needed

First, we calculate the points (p) Lesha has already accumulated.

[tex]p = Test\ 1 + Test\ 2 + Test\ 3[/tex]

[tex]p = 75 + 100 + 100[/tex]

[tex]p = 275[/tex]

Let the number of points needed be t.

So:

[tex]p + t = 370[/tex] ---- i.e. She must score a total of 370

Make t the subject

[tex]t = 370 -p[/tex]

Substitute 275 for p

[tex]t = 370 -275[/tex]

[tex]t = 95[/tex]
