6-82. Forty percent of the students at Pinecrest Middle School have a school sweatshirt. There
are 560 students at the school. Draw a diagram to help you solve each problem below.

a. How many students have a school sweatshirt?

b. If 280 students have school t-shirts instead of sweatshirts, what percentage of the

6-83. Latisha wants to get at least a B+ in her history class. To do so, she needs to have an
overall average of at least 86%. So far, she has taken three tests and has gotten scores of 90%,
82%, and 81%.

a. Use the 5-D Process to help Latisha determine what percent score she needs on the
fourth test to get the overall grade that she wants. The fourth test is the last test of the
grading period.

b. The teacher decided to make the last test worth twice as much a regular test. How does
this change the score that Latisha needs on the last test to get an overall average of
86%? Support your answer with mathematical work. You may choose to use the 5-D
Process again.

6-92. Write and solve an inequality for the following situation.

Robert is painting a house. He has 35 cans of paint. He has used 30 cans of paint on the
walls. Now he needs to paint the trim. If each section of trim takes can of paint, how many
sections of trim can he paint? Show your answer as an inequality with symbols, in words, and
with a number line. Make sure that your solution makes sense for this situation.
