Question 821291
If the final is worth 40% of the final grade, then the 62.38% must be 60% of your final grade. So:
Final average = 0.60 * 62.38 + 0.4 * (final exam grade)<br>
Since I do not know what grade is required to pass, I cannot specifically help with this part. I can only say that the minimum passing grade (60, 70, 75, ?) would go on the left side. Let's say it's 70. Then the equation becomes:
70 = 0.60 * 62.38 + 0.4 * (final exam grade)
Then use algebra to solve for the final exam grade to find out the lowest it could be in order to pass.<br>
For the other part of the equation, just put a zero in for the final exam grade:
Final average = 0.60 * 62.38 + 0.4 * (0)
Simplifying...
Final average = 0.60 * 62.38 + 0
Final average = 0.60 * 62.38
Final average = 37.428
So if you get a zero on the final, your final average will be 37.428.
