if i have a 52 in my class and exams are worth 20% of my final grade and i need a 60 to pass, what is the lowest i can make on my exam.

Answer 1

52(4) + F = 60(5)

F =300-208 = 92 is needed on the Final to Pass

.2F + .8(52)

= .2(92) +.8(52)

=18.4 + 41.6

= 60

but if the instructor rounds up for a final average of 59.5, you can pass with slightly less on the Final

52(4) + F = 59.5)(5) = 297.5

F = 297.5 -208 = 89.5 is enough
