current grade

Question

I am currently at 67.23/80 how do I figure outwear mygrade is and figure out what I need to get on my final which is 20% of my grade. 

Answer 1

You can figure out your current grade by dividing 67.23 by 80 to get 0.840375 ~ 84%  

 

Since you have already earned 67.23 out of 80 possible points, and the final is 20% of the grade, you can view the final as being the 20 remaining points possible out of 100 for the course.  So if you convert your final score to be equal to something out of 20 (for example, if you get 95/100 on your final this would be equivalent to 19/20, 90/100 would be equivalent to 18/20, and so on) then you can just add your converted final score to the 67.23 points to get your final grade for the course.  Since there are up to 20 points available on the converted final exam scale your final grade will be between 67.23 and 87.23 (out of 100).  If you want to get a particular grade for the course, like say 85, then subtract 67.23 from 85 to get 

 

85 - 67.23 = 17.77  

 

and multiply this number by 5 to get 

 

17.77*5 = 88.85 required on the final exam
