Average his four grades together by adding and dividing by 4:

Let x = grade on the final, which counts as two grades, whereas his average on the other tests, which is 85, counts as a single grade.

Solve the following equations:

For a B in the class:

Multiply both sides by 3:
85 + 2x = 240
2x = 155
x= 77.5

For an A in the class:

Multiply both sides by 3:
85 + 2x = 270
2x = 185
x= 92.5
