    The document outlines a problem to design a program that calculates the score needed on a final exam given the current average and weight of the final exam. It provides the necessary inputs, variables, and solution using a formula to relate the current average, exam weight, desired grade, and required exam score. An example is given to demonstrate how to calculate the exam score needed to achieve a desired final grade of 80%. The solution explains that the program would generate a chart of predicted final grades and exam scores within the minimum and maximum ranges provided.

    Problem: Design a program to calculate the score required on a final exam given the
    current average (as a percent) of the student and the weight of the final exam (as a
    percent). The program should allow the user to select a minimum and maximum for the
    desired final grade and should provide the user with a chart of predicted final grades
    and final exam grades within that minimum/maximum range.
    Solution:
    Output needed:
    score required to achieve certain value(as a percent) on a final exam. (represented by
    variable fg)
    Constants:
    Weight of the exam (let weight be represented by variable w)
    Current average (let current average be represented by variable a)
    Weight of current mark (let weight of current mark be represented by l)
    Input:
    desired grade (includes maximum or minimum and all values in between, desired grade
    represented by variable dg)
    Variables:
    Weight of the exam (let weight be represented by variable w)
    Current average (let current average be represented by variable a)
    Weight of current mark (let weight of current mark be represented by l)
    desired grade (includes maximum or minimum and all values in between, desired
    grade represented by variable dg)
    Solution : ((l / 100) * a) + (fg * (w / 100)) = dg
    When calculating for the maximum grade possible fg=100,
    When calculating for the minimum grade possible fg=0
    When solving for both maximum or minimum grade possible fg = 82(max), or 42(min)

    Formula in action (assuming l = 60%, a = 70, w=40%, dg=80)


    ((l / 100) * a) + (fg * (w / 100)) = dg
    ((60 / 100) * 70) + (fg * (40 / 100)) = 80
    (.6 x 70) + (.4fg) = 80
    80 -42 = .4fg
    38/.4 = fg
    95 = fg.
    THEREFORE in order to achieve a desired grade of 80 in the course, with the exam being
    weighted at 40%, the student must score a percent of 95 on the final.
    From here the program can input values of fg into a chart depending on what the desired grade
    is.
