Work Step by Step

Obtain $\frac{x+15}{x+17}=\frac{19}{20}$ Thus, we have: $x+15=19k\\x+17=20k$ Rewrite as: $x=19k-15\\x=20k-17$ Comparing $x$ from two equations: $19k-15=20k-17\\k=2$ Find $x=19(2)-15=23$ Hence, the student should submit 23 consecutive assignments to raise her homework percentage up to 90%.
