Catherine wants to pass year for Ms. Ford's class and all she has left is to take the final Spring Final. If she earned a 60 on Semester 1, a 62 on RC3 and a 53 on RC4 what is the minimum score she would need to earn on the final to pass for the year? RC3 and RC4 are averaged together for 90% of the semester 2 grade. The Spring final is 10% of the semester 2 grade. The final grade is the average of the Semester 1 and Semester 2 grade. A 70% is passing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The final grade is the average of the two semesters.

70 = ½ (60 + x)

x = 80

So Catherine needs a Semester 2 grade of 80%.

The average of RC3 and RC4 is ½ (62 + 53) = 57.5.  This accounts for 90% of the Semester 2 grade.  The other 10% is the Spring final.

80 = 0.90 (57.5) + 0.10 (x)

x = 282.5

Catherine would have to score 282.5% on the Spring final in order to pass.
