Okay, for you to pass the class, the weighted average of your current grade and your final grade must be greater than or equal to 64%. So first, consult your syllabus to find out what percentage of the total grade the final is worth -- call this number x. Call the grade you get on the final A (I want you to have a positive mindset). Then to pass the class, we must have:
(67.7 * (100-x) + Ax)/100 ≥ 64
Solving for A:
67.7(100-x) + Ax ≥ 6400
Ax ≥ 6400 - 67.7 (100-x)
A ≥ (6400 - 67.7 (100-x))/x
So now just plug in the correct value of x, and you will have your answer.

Well, you will have to find out how many points you have turned in throughout the year and then take your current grade and figure it out. Knowing that you have a 67.7% doesn't do any good, and what percentage of the class is based on the final...another big question. Try to find those answers and try to ask the question again. Good Luck and I hope that you pass

That depends on what percentage of your final grade consists of the final exam alone.
Lets just say 20% of your final exam will be your final grade:
Final grade = [Current grade*(Total percantage - Final percentage)]*(percentage*final grade)
.64=(.677*1-0.2)+(0.2x)
.64=(0.5416)+0.2x
0.0984=0.2x
0.492=x
The lowest you can get it a 49.2%
Plug your numbers in there for the percentage of the final and solve.
Good Luck!!!

This actually depends on how many points out of how many points you have currently in your class and how much weight the finals are towards your grade.

I'd need to know what % of your final grade your final exam is worth.

.677(100-x) + (E/100)x = 64
where x is the % of your grade that the exam counts for. solve for E and you have your answer. We can give you a real number answer if you include what % your exam counts for

this depends on how much the final is worth.
if it's half your grade then you could get a 60.3 on the final.
