In the DBE 122 class, there are 350 possible points. These points come from 5 homework sets that are worth 10 points each and 3 exams that are worth 100 points each. A student has received homework scores of 7, 8, 7, 5, and 8 and the first two exam scores are 81 and 80. Assuming that grades are assigned according to the standard scale, where if the grade percentage is 0.9 or higher the student will get an A, and if the grade percentage is between 0.8 and 0.9 the student will get a B, and there are no weights assigned to any of the grades, is it possible for the student to receive an A in the class? What is the minimum score on the third exam that will give an A? What about a B?

a) The student cannot receive an A in the class.

b) The student must score 119 in the third exams to make an A.  This is clearly not possible, since he cannot make 119 in a 100-points exam.

c) The student can make a B but he must score at least 84 in the third exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make an A, the student must score 315 (350 x 90%) in both home and the three exams.

The student who scored 35 (7 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 8) in the homework and 161 (81 + 80), getting a total of 196, is short by 119 (315 - 196) scores in making an A.

To make a B, the student must score 280 (350 x 80%) or higher but not reaching 315.

B ≥ 280 and < 315.

Since, the student had scored 196, he needs to score 84 and above to make a B in the last exam.
