IF I HAVE A 62% D IN THE CLASS AND MIDTERM TEST THAT IS 20% OF MY GRADE WHAT PERCENTAGE DO I HAVE TO GET ON MY TEST TO HAVE A C IN THE CLASS?
The percent FOR A C IS 70%
:
let x = the grade required to get a C with a 62% average
:
your present average is 4/5 of the grade, your mid term is 1/5, therefore
%28%284%2862%29+%2B+x%29%29%2F5 = 70
248 + x = 5(70)
x = 350 - 248
x = 102, you need a perfect score plus some extra credit
