Question

please answer this for me. if i have a 54 in my class and my final exam is worth 425 points what do i need to get on the exam to have a 75 in the class?

Answer 1

you have a 54 what?

Answer 2

How many points is the total class?

Answer 3

like a 54.85 i think and i have no idea 100 i assume

Answer 4

You can't figure this out without knowing the amount of points total in the course... sorry

Answer 5

what does that mean exactly? point total in the course? and can you like take a guess?

Answer 6

I can't because I don't know how many points are in the course. You've earned 54.85% of the points possible. I need to know how many points you'ld have if you had earned 100% of the points possible.

Answer 7

oh i would have a 100 if i had 100 precent of the point possible

Answer 8

what grade are you in

Answer 9

bout to be senior

Answer 10

Okay out then in total you have 525 points possible. In order to get a 75 in the class you must get 525(.75) points. Solve that

Answer 11

Then subtract the points you already have and thats the total of points you need inorder to get 75% in the class

Answer 12

Get it?

Answer 13

not at all

Answer 14

Okay
The test is worth 425 points and the rest of the class was worth 100 points. The total would be 525.
75% of 525=393.75
that means you need 393.75 points in order to get 75% in the class.
You've already earned 54.85 points so 393.75-54.85=338.9
in order to get 75% in the class you need 338.9 points on the test.

Answer 15

better?

Answer 16

ok so if there are 40 questions on the final how many do i have to get right to get the 75?

Answer 17

425/40=10.625
Each question is worth 10.625 points
338.9/10.625= 31.9
Round that up and you get that you need at least 32 questions right.
