Hi Babamau,

How did you arrive at 40%?

Thank you TrowaD for your response. Actually i need to convert class marks to a total of 100%. Now course work contributed 40% (that is from the 2 assignment) and 60% will be obtained from the final examination. So that is where the 40% is coming from.
Thank you again for your assistance

Sorry Babamau, I stil don't understand.

When the fianl examination is always 60% then the other 2 assignments are always 40%. Then what needs to be calculated? Can you give an example of the calculation?

Or do you mean like this: =(19/20*100+88)/2*0.4 = 36.6 and then you add 'final exam score' * 0.6?

Best regards,
Trowa
