For class I have to figure out an equation that will tell you the score you need on the final exam to achieve a desired grade int a class. I am given the desired grade with the minimum average required to make that grade, current average in the class, and how much the final counts toward your grade in a percentage. I'm having trouble figuring out what the equation is. If you guys could help me out that would be awesome!

alright well for me my semester grades are worth 80% and Finals 20%. So you take your 3rd Quarter grade and times it by 2 and same with 4 quarter grade. Then add them up and then add your finals grade and dived it by 5.

EX. So if I got a 80 3rd quarter, 90 with quarter and 70 finals. it would be (80+80+90+90+70)/5 which would equal an 82. +rep if I helped, let me know if this was completely wrong.

No thats wrong because the final is wighted by a certain percent.

then you gotta tell us how much its weighted.
how much of your grade depends on final?
what grade you already have etc

just give us details and i'll solve it for you.

all i need to know is the equation but if you want some numbers: desired grade: B which is 79.5 minimum Current grade is 74.6 and the final is weighted 25%

74.6 X 0.75=55.95
79.5-55.95 = 23.55
23.55/25 = 94.2%

You need to get 94.2% on your final to get a B

+ rep
