A more systematic approach would realize that his total grade
on all six tests needs to be at least 90 x 6 = 540. And he has 354
points so far, so he needs 186 more. That means he must average 186/2
= 93 on the last two tests to get a 90 average.
The algebraic approach: Let a be his average on the last two
tests. Then we must solve
((4)(88.5) + 2a)/6 ≥ 90.
Multiply
both sides by 6, subtract 354, and finally divide by 2 to get
a ≥ 93.
