How do I figure out my current grade and how many points do I need for an A? The teacher said that we must get at least a 70% on the final to pass the class, but I need to get an A. I have no idea how to figure this out since it\'s all weighted. Written work = 40% 10 assn x 100pts each Discussion = 10% 10 assn x 100pts each Midterm = 10% Final = 40% My grades so far: written = 70% on one assignment, 100% on 6 assn, 3 to do discussion = 100% on 7 assignments, 3 to do midterm = 100% Final = not done yet, must get at least a 70% to pass but I need to get an A in the class Solution Your current grade so far: Assignments total = 70 + 100*6 = 670/1000 40% of 670 = 26.8 Discussion total points = 100*7 = 700/1000 10% of 700 = 7 Midterm total points = 100 10% of 100 = 10 Total points upto now = 26.8+7+10 = 43.8 Approximate grade = 43.8/60 * 100 = 73% You have already passed the class before taking the final..Getting about 50% or more on the final wil give you an A in the class This grade is approximately out of 60 (as the final has not been completed, and some assignments not turned in) Please rate :) .
