Question 820423: I have a 95% overall in a class. I am taking a final worth 35%. The final is 100 points and 70 questions. What is the lowest grade I can get on my final in order to maintain at least a 71 % in the class?
Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.65*95+.35x>=71
x>=185/7
x>=26.4286
You have a 95% and are willing to settle for 71%
I haven't ever met any one like that!
BTW Even with a 100 on the test, your best final grade would be 96.75
