Passing is 70 Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is passing? 50, 60, 65, 75?
Passing is 70
30+40=70 under 100%
30+40+40=120 over 100%
Something is wrong.
30+35+35=120 is 100%
.3*59=17.7
70-17.7=52.3
Basically you need to make up 11 points (70-59 =11)
in the next two tests
So if you can make up 5.5 point on each test you can pass.
26.15/.35= about 75
If you can average 75 on the next two tests then you can pass the course.
