Question 56720: Jon's final exam was given 5 times the weight of a weekly test. The average of 15 weekly tests was 87. The overall weighted average was 85. What grade did he make on the final?

Let the score on the final be "x".
Then:
[15*87+5x]/20=85
[1305+5x]=1700
5x=395
x=79
His score on the final was 79
Cheers,
