    What percent do I have to make on my final?
    Okay guys, bear with me, my mathematical brain is not working right now. I need some help.

    I would like to know what percentage I need to make on my final to pass with a minimum of an 80%... this is what I have so far

    I have an 80.6667, which accounts for 75% of my grade

    And a 91.465, which accounts for 5% of my grade

    The weight of the final is 20%

    So far I have figured that I need to make a minimum of a 74% on the final to maintain a minimum of 80%

    Is this correct?

    Hmmmm homework help, I don't think so ;)

    75% of 80.6666667 is 60.5 overall
    5% of 91.465 is 4.57 overall
    So that gives 65.07% so far
    You need another 15% to pass

    Either that or I'm urinating up the wall and I'm completely wrong.

    Now where's the monkey when we need him ;)

    That's what I get. Actually, a 74.6% if you want to split hairs.

    Yup, I wanted to split hairs.

    Thanks guys. I thought it was about 74.2% but didn't know if I was doing my math right.

    Homework help? HOMEWORK HELP?

    Yeah right. LOL

    I just wanted to check and make sure I'm still going to graduate Friday. Giggle
