  1. Calculate Part A Weighted Score: Calculate the weighted score for Part A.\newlineNathan's score for Part A = 80%80\% of Part A's weight.\newlineSo, Nathan's score for Part A = 0.80×20%=16%0.80 \times 20\% = 16\%.
  2. Calculate Part B Weighted Score: Calculate the weighted score for Part B.\newlineNathan's score for Part B = 90%90\% of Part B's weight.\newlineSo, Nathan's score for Part B = 0.90×30%=27%0.90 \times 30\% = 27\%.
  3. Calculate Total Weighted Score: Calculate the total weighted score for Parts A and B.\newlineTotal weighted score for Parts A and B = 16%+27%=43%16\% + 27\% = 43\%.
  4. Calculate Remaining Percentage: Calculate the remaining percentage needed to reach the overall score.\newlineNathan's overall score = 70%70\%.\newlineRemaining percentage needed = 70%43%=27%70\% - 43\% = 27\%.
  5. Calculate Part C Score: Calculate Nathan's score for Part C.\newlineSince Part C is worth 50%50\% of the total score, and Nathan needs 27%27\% more to reach 70%70\%, his score from Part C must be 27%27\% of the total score.\newlineBut we need to express this as a percent of the score for Part C, not of the total score.\newlineSo, Nathan's score for Part C = (27%/50%)×100%=54%(27\% / 50\%) \times 100\% = 54\%.
