To figure out what you need to make on your exam to maintain at least a 70 average, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the overall grade for your daily grades by multiplying your average daily grade (84.5) by 0.30 (since daily grades account for 30%).
Daily grade = 84.5 * 0.30 = 25.35
Step 2: Calculate the overall grade for your major grades by averaging the scores you have received so far:
Major grade average = (77 + 85 + 91) / 3 = 84.33
Step 3: Compute the weighted average of your total grade by adding the daily grade from step 1 and the major grade average from step 2:
Total grade = (Daily grade) + (Major grade average) = 25.35 + 84.33 = 109.68
Step 4: Determine the minimum grade you need on your exam to maintain at least a 70 average. Subtract the total grade you currently have from the desired average (70) and multiply the result by 0.70 (since major grades account for 70%):
Exam grade needed = (70 - Total grade) / 0.70 = (70 - 109.68) / 0.70
Now, you can calculate this final step to figure out what grade you need to make on your exam.
