Question

I currently have a 95.52 % in my math class and my final exam is today.I took a practice final as reference and got a 70%.what percentage do I have to get on the final, to have a passing grade (passing grade is at least 70%, I currentlyhave 95.52%)

Answer 1

The current score is given as 95.52%.

The passing grade is required to be a 70%.

This means the score on the final that is needed to achieve a 70% passing grade would be calculated as follows;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{95.52+x}{2}=70 \\ x=\text{the required score in the final exam} \\ \text{Cross multiply;} \\ 95.25+x=140 \\ x=140-95.52 \\ x=44.48 \end{gathered}$

The answer means that, on the final exam you must score at least (nothing less than) 44.48% in order to have a passing grade of 70%
