A student needed to get a final grade of 90 to get a grade of A for the semester. If the last two scores would be counted as one score. What is the least grade the student would need to get to get a final grade of A?
Is the answer 45?

More data needed.
To find the least grade the student would need to get a final grade of A, we need to consider the overall weightage of the grades and the current grades of the student.
If the last two scores would be counted as one score, it means they would have equal weightage. Let's say the student has already earned a sum of 'x' marks from all their previous assessments, including exams, assignments, and any other graded work.
Now, to calculate the least grade needed, we can set up an equation. The total weightage of the previous assessments (x) would be multiplied by their respective weightage. Let's assume that the weightage of the previous assessments is 'w', and the weightage of the last two scores is 'y'. So, the equation would be:
(x * w) + (grade * y) = required total grade
Here, since the student needs a final grade of 90 to get an A, the "required total grade" would be 90. The weightage of the previous assessments (w) and the weightage of the last two scores (y) are specific to the grading policy of the course, so those values are unknown.
To find the least grade (grade) the student needs, we would need to know the values of x, w, and y from the specific grading policy of the course. With these values, we can rearrange the equation and solve for grade.
Therefore, the answer is not necessarily 45, as it depends on the values of x, w, and y in the equation to determine the least grade required for a final grade of A.
