Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Goal: reach at least 80% overall.

Step 1: Find total possible points after the final.

Total possible = 300 (current) + 100 (final) = 400.

  • Required total points for 80% = 0.80 × 400 = 320.

  • Current points = 237.

  • Points needed on the final = 320 − 237 = 83.

Answer: You need a minimum of 83 points on the final test.
