Pete is a student at Drudgery High. After every test he figures his cumulative average, which he always rounds to the nearest whole percent. (So 85.49 would round down to 85, but 85.50 would round up to 86.) Today he had two tests. First he got 75 in French, which dropped his average by 1 point. Then he got 83 in History, which lowered his average another 2 points.
What is his average now?

I have checked the submitted solution and fully concur with the conclusion that Pete will INDEED round it to 96.
