Let x = score on the final

The final is worth 30% of your overall grade. The rest is worth 100 - 30 = 70% of your overall grade.

(weight of final)*(score on final) + (weight of class work)*(score on classwork) = final overall grade you want

(0.30)*(x) + (0.70)*(0.93) = 0.90

0.30x + 0.651 = 0.90

0.30x = 0.90 - 0.651

0.30x = 0.249

x = 0.249/0.30

x = 0.83

So you need to get an 83% or higher on the final exam to get a 90% or higher on your overall final grade.
