You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your whole class grade or score (better), is in two parts:
85% part other than Final Exam, and 15% part which is the Final Exam.

You currently have 93% of 85%, which is 79.05%.
Getting 80% on your Final Examination puts your score at 79.05%2B0.80%2815%29=highlight%2891%29%, to the nearest whole value.
