ACEM
Analyze

Create a Plan
1.) First I need to create a total column for both classes.
2.) Then I will find the percentage of As in the period 5 class..
3.) Then I will use the formula
to figure out how many would need
to get an A in the 5th period class.
ACEM Continued
The total in period
2 is 10+13+7 = 30
Period 5 is out of
