    you gotta get a 95 in the second qtr, and a 94 on the semester exam

    good luck!

    (x*60+77*40)/100=90

    60x+3080=9000

    60x=9000-3080=5920

    x=5920/60=98.667

    what is x?

    It's your second quarter (66.6%) + Semester exam (33.3%)______________(it's in this case not 40/20%, pure math (sq=2*Se so 66.6=2*33.3)

    CONCLUSION

    (you probably don't wanna read the math)

    What you should get on the exam depends on how good your score was on the second quarter:

    So every percentage you get more than 98.667 on your second quarter, you can afford having

    two percents less than 98.667 on your exam.

    I think this should be correct, but I don't give you a guaranty this method is 100% correct. (although, I've been doing this kind for like 7 years: if we get a monthly report, it's never a total percent we get for all subjects, only once a grade )

    PS:it's better to post this in category math
