Question 927197: If I have a 47% in my math class and I need a 55% to pass, and my exam is worth 30% of my overall grade, what do I need to get on the exam to pass my math class?
Please Help!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! since the final exam is worth 30% we can assume that the class work up to the final is worth 70%
---
0.7*47 + 0.3x = 1.0*55
32.9 + 0.3x = 55
0.3x = 55 - 32.9
x = (55 - 32.9)/0.3
x = 73.7
---
you need 74 on the final

-----
You have 0.47*70 = 32.9 points
----
To pass you need 55 of 100 points
So you need to earn 55-32.9 = 22.1 points on the last test
----
The last test is worth 30 points
-----
You need 30x = 22 where x is the fraction of 30 you need to get 22.
x = 22/30 = 73.3% on the final exam
