Monica wants to know what she needs to get on the exam to get a certain grade in her English class. The term Mark is worth 70% of the course and exam is worth 30%. The following is the formula used to calculate her overall Mark.
Course Mark = term Mark + exam mark
C=T/70 +E/30
Rearrange the equation to find her exam Mark (E) out of 30.
I thought that I should divided T/70 by C and E/30
So that I could get E by its self.
just solve the normal way:
C=T/70 +E/30
C + T/70 = E/30
(70C+T)/70 = E/30
E = 30(70C+T)/70 = 3/7 (70C+T)
or,
E = 30C + 3/7 T
To rearrange the equation to find Monica's exam mark (E) out of 30:
1. Start with the equation: C = T/70 + E/30
2. To isolate E, subtract T/70 from both sides of the equation: C - T/70 = E/30
3. Now, we have E/30 on the right side. To get E alone, we need to multiply by 30: 30 * (C - T/70) = E
Therefore, Monica's exam mark (E) out of 30 can be calculated using the formula: E = 30 * (C - T/70)
