you have a 97.5 % in your x class, but the final is worth 25% of your grade. what do you need to keep an a in the class? ( an a is 90% or better. )

If the final is 25% of the grade then the rest of the stuff is 75%, so 97.5 * 0.75 = 73.125%. You need 16.875 / 25 from the final to receive a 90%. This is a grade of 67.5%.

thanks man. you're a genius.

i like to do it a little differently.
90x4=360
97.5x3=292.5
360-292.5=67.5:)

wow..dumb ques..but whered u get 4 from..as in 90 x 4..

wow...an even dumber question from jungli... 25% is 1/4th of the final grade therefore 90%x4 would give you the number of equivalent points you need in the class to get an A... Are you guys honestly trying to get into dental school?? What a useless forum discussion:thumbdown

rofl wow harsh

that's a bit harsh - some people struggle a bit with math. for some reason, they just don't see it. there's nothing wrong with them asking for help.
