Math help (Grades/percents)?
I have an exam this weekend in a course that I struggled with and need some help finding out what I need on the exam to pass.
we had 2 essays one worth 25% which i got 13/25 on a second one worth 20% which i got 12/20 on and an assignment 5/15 (15%) on and our exam is graded out of 60 marks. what would I need to get on the exam to pass?

Say finally u are given marks out of 100 ..
Your total is 13+12+5 = 30 on 60 as of now ..the remaining 40 comes from your final exam which is for 60 ..
Assuming u get 'x' in final exam. your total now is 30 + (40x/60) out of 100
if pass mark is 40 then
30 + (2x/3) >= 40
2x/3 >=10
2x>=30
x>=15
if u get 15 on 60..then ur through with whatever course it is!
Hope this helps!
