Question from Deirdre, a student: Hi, And the final exam was worth 60% My final grade overall was 63% Did I do very bad in the exam???? |
Hi Deirdre,
Suppose your final exam grade was S%. Your final grade is composed of 3 parts, 20% from the first question, 20% from the second question and 60% from the final exam score.
20% of 69% is
\[0.20 \times 69\%\]
20% of 68% is
\[0.20 \times 68\%.\]
and 60% of S% is
\[0.6 \times S\%.\]
Your final grade was 63% and hence
\[0.20 \times 69\% + 0.20 \times 68\% + 0.6 \times S\% = 63\%.\]
Solve for S.
