In my English class, I need a 60 percent on the final to pass the class. The passing grade is 60 percent. That final is worth 50 percent of my mark. The question is: The test is also worth 175 marks, how many marks do I need to get on the test to pass?

Find the amount when the base and percent are known
Amount = base x percent
Convert 60% to decimal
Remove the % symbol. divide 60 by 100
60 / 100 = 0.6
Multiply 175 times the decimal
175 x 0.6 = 105
The amount is 105
105 is the minimun amount of marks to pass the test
105 is 60% of 175

That's not enough information
Does the test=the final? It's not clear.
If you need 60% of 175 marks, it's 175 * 60/100 = 105 marks.
However if it's only worth 50 of the mark, what contributes to the other fifty percent? The test alone isn't enough to get you 60% of a final when it at best contributes 50%.

You need 105 marks on your final test to get a 60% (.6 * 175).
Sounds very easy, well you had to ask someone else to figure this out so you might need some luck.

you need 60% to pass.
175 @ 60% = 105 marks required

I assume you sixty percent going into the final, you will need a 103 out out of 175.
