<p>Your grade right now is a 95.333…%. (50+50+43)/150.</p>
<p>You want a 96, so you need to solve:
.96=x/200
x=192</p>
<p>192 points out of 200 will give you a 96 average.</p>
<p>192-(50+50+43) = 192-143 = 49.</p>
<p>You need a 49 to get a flat even 96. To get a 95.5, you need a 48.</p>
<p>I like both. </p>
<p>It seems like the 2nd one, though requires 2 equation set up. where as the 1st one is only 1 equation, except you have to scale the 96 grade, which i dont understand.</p>
<p>thanks to you both.</p>
<p>It only requires two equations because I was spelling it out for you. If you want, I could have done that all in one equation.</p>
<p>you scale the 96 because the final grade is out of 100. </p>
<p>The quizzes are out of 50, so you multiply 96 by 50/100, which simplifies to 1/2.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could have scaled up your quiz grades by 100/50, which is the same as multiplying the raw score by 2.</p>
<p>4 quizzes –> 200 points
96% –> 8 points off
43, 50, 50 –> 7 points off
remaining test –> 1 point off
50 - 1 –> 49</p>
<p>Can anyone help me with an equation. i need help trying to solve what i need to get on my math final exam that is worth 20% and my current grade is a 79.9 right now…im really bad at math so if someone could help that’d be great…muchas gracias…</p>
<p>0.799*0.8 = 0.6392</p>
<p>If you want an 80+, you need
.8-.6392 = .1618</p>
<p>this is 20% so</p>
<p>.1618/.2 = 80.4%</p>
<p>Myrmidon, you should start charging for this.</p>
