80%of grade is 90, 20% is 80. How do I find out what the grade is?

Question

Need answer asap. Thanks.

Answer 1

If the grade is X,then 0.8X=90,so the grade must beX= 90/0.8=112.5

and also 0.2X=80 so X=400.The question is NOT self-consistant.

Answer 2

1) 80% of grade is 90

   90 divided by 80% times 100% =200

2) 20% is 80.

   20 divided by 80 times 100

=25

Answer 3

0.8 * 90 + 0.2 * 80 = 88

the grade is 88%

Answer 4

.8 times 90

plus

.2 times 80

equals percentage.

Answer 5

.8 * 90 + .2 * 80

those are multiplication signs by the way.

Answer 6

(90 x .80) + (80 x .20) = 88

Answer 7

80% + 20% = 100%

90 + 80 = 170

OR

what do you mean? 100%?

10% = 40, in other words half 80

100% = 400, 10% x 10

OR

20% x 5 = 100%

80 x 5 = 400

Answer 8

Let's look at it this way.

Overall you can get 100 points.

The first part is worth 80 points, the second part is worth 20 points.

On part one, you got 90 percent of the possible 80 points.

.90 x 80 = 72 points (out of the 80 possible)

On part two, you got 80 percent of the possible 20 points.

.80 x 20 = 16 points (out of the possible 20 points)

72 + 16 = 88 points out of the possible 100.

So you get a B.

Maybe a B+ if they're being generous.
