Help with my final grade?

Question

Ok so i took my final the other day at school and the
final is worth 15 percent of your grade. As of now
without the final test included in my grade I have a
73% in that class in order for me to pass the class i
will need a 70% grade or higher because a 69% or
lower is failing grade. So i was wondering what would
i have to make on the finals test to at least get a
passing grade which would be a 70% or higher in the
class as the final grade? (gosh i am so stressed i have
a headache because i don't want to fail this class and
have to go to summer school. Pleaseeeeee helpppp

You need to get _at least_ 69.5 marks in your final test. I don't know how complicated each part of your final may be, but you've done well to get 73% in the first part. Perhaps you are worrying unnecessarily.

Your marks are 'weighted'.

You have two parts to get.

Part 1 - 73% of your first part final (15%) is 10.95% overall. (That's 15 x 0.73 = 10.95)

If you do nothing at all, your overall mark will be 10.95% - So Jack is wrong.

You need to get at least 59.05% in your final (which is worth 85% of the total grade) to give you a _minimum_ of 70% (10.95 + 59.05 = 70).

Let's say your final test is also out of 100%, you need to get (85 x 0.5905) = 69.5 marks. You should aim for 70 marks to be sure of passing.

Well you've already got a 73% isn't that a pass? By 3%?
