You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I can say that the grade for the class is a percent of 500 points
The grade for the midterm is a percent of 300 points
The grade for the final is a percent of 200 points
.7%2A500+=+350+ points is a passing grade
+.88%2A300+=+264+ is the grade for the midterm
You need to get +350+-+264+=+86+ points on the final exam
to pass the course. This is a grade of
+86%2F200+=+43+
You need a 43% on the final to pass the course
This seems low. You should get a 2nd opinion on this
