Question 464907: I had a 91 average in a class I was taking.... our final was 2 parts and worth 35% of our grade, I scored a 83 on the first half, what would I have had to score on the 2nd half to receive a 79.5 for a final grade?

91x.65=59.15
79.5-59.15=20.35
83x.35/2=14.525
20.35-14.525=5.825
.35/2=.175
m(.175)=5.825
m=5.825/.175=33.286
You need a score of 33.286 on the second half of the test to get a 79.5 average in the class.
