You can put this solution on YOUR website!
60 is 75% of your grade.
Assuming a 60 is passing, then you'd need another 60.
.
But let's assume that you need a 70.
Then you have 3/4 of your grade at 60 and x for the final
60+60+60+x = 70*4
180 +x = 280
Subtract 180 from each side.
x = 100
.
Ouch. To get a 70 in the class, you need a perfect score on the final.
.
Plug in whatever number is passing into the 70 position.
