If i wanted to go on a trip, i have to pass class with an 82.5%. I had 71% last semester . What would i have to get this semester? they take the average of both semesters.
:
Let x = grade required in the 2nd semester to get 82.5 average of the year
%2871%2Bx%29%2F2 = 82.5
Multiply both sides by 2
71 + x = 165
x = 165 - 71
x = 94% and you pack your bags for the trip
