Question

My university course is weighed 1/3 in second year and 2/3 in third year if i got 58% in second year what do i need to get in third (final) year to get 60% overall?? Please help.

Answer 1

Set up as an equation:  (1/3 x 58%) + (2/3 x X) = 60%

 

then 2/3 x X = 60% - (58%)/3 = 3 x (60% - 58%)/2 = 3/2 x (60% - 58%/2)

 

then X = 3/2*(60%) - (58%/2) = 61%
