If I have an 85% class average and my final is worth 20% of my grade.
What grade do I have to get in order to keep at least an 83 average in the class.
:
let x = the grade required to have an 83 average
final is 20% which is 1/5 of your grade, that means 4/5 is class average
%28%284%2885%29+%2B+x%29%29%2F5+=+83
multiply both sides by 5, do the math
340 + x = 415
x = 415 - 340
x = 75% will give you and 83
