<PRE><B>Question 915896</B>
I HAVE A 55 OVER ALL IN MY CLASS I WANT TO HAVE ATLEAST A 70 OVERALL AFTER THIS LAST TEST. THE TEST COUNTS AS 60 PERCENT OF MY GRADE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO GET IN ORDER TO GET MY AVERAGE TO BE A 70? 
-----
You have 0.55(40) = 22 points out of 40
----
You want 70 points out of 100.
------
You need 70-22 = 48 points out of 60 or (48/60) = 80% on the final exam.
