Let p = Fractional part of the final grade the Final counts as
Let F = Grade needed on Final
Let G = Grade wanted for whole term
Let T = Total of all the marks received during the rest of the term
The equation is then G = ((1-p)(T) + p(F))/(1 + 1/p).
You could solve that for F to find the grade needed on Final.
You could solve that for G to find the Grade you will get.

you have to decide what you are shooting for. for example, if you are shooting for an A and your current grade is a B (which would be for example 80% of your grade), an equation for a final that is worth 20% of your grade would be
90=(Fx.2 + 80x.8)/100
once you figure out F, that's the grade you should be shooting for. to figure out F you can re-write the equation as
[(90/100) - 80x.8]/.2=F
ps: x means "multiply"
good luck!

Depends how your course is weighted. Like for my school, it's 40% first quarter, 40% second and the final is 20%.
