Before u roast, it's grade 10 English I handed in like 1 thing..

Ok so my in class mark is worth 70%, my ISU is worth 15% and my exam is worth 15%.

My friends think it works by average... But wouldn't it work like this:
56%(my mark) of 70
75%(my ISU mark) of 15
X% of 15

Add those up and it's my final mark?
I'm just trying to figure out what I need on the exam to pass...

maybe focus more on studying for your exam then trying to figure out the bare minimum you need to pass..

0.6=0.56*0.7+0.75*0.15+x*0.15

solve for x, assuming 60% is passing

You need a 64% to pass and the highest you could get in the class if you got a perfect would be a 65.4% (D)

Talk to your teacher it is English not Math and even if it was a Math class there is a chance your meeting will give you a chance to bump up your score. There is often a human element to the grading process that they don't disclose in the syllabus.
