A friend has a 79% average before the final exam for a course.
That score includes everything but the final, which counts for 20% of the course grade.
From the information given, we know that the ratio of Grades to Exam is 4:1

Av =
Av =
Av = 84% best grade
:
What is the minimum score would your friend would need on the final to earn a 75% for the course? %

316 + E = 375
E = 375 - 316
E = 59% on the Exam would give an average of 75%
