Calculate Part A Weighted Score: Calculate the weighted score for Part A.Nathan's score for Part A = 80% of Part A's weight.So, Nathan's score for Part A = 0.80×20%=16%.
Calculate Part B Weighted Score: Calculate the weighted score for Part B.Nathan's score for Part B = 90% of Part B's weight.So, Nathan's score for Part B = 0.90×30%=27%.
Calculate Total Weighted Score: Calculate the total weighted score for Parts A and B.Total weighted score for Parts A and B = 16%+27%=43%.
Calculate Remaining Percentage: Calculate the remaining percentage needed to reach the overall score.Nathan's overall score = 70%.Remaining percentage needed = 70%−43%=27%.
Calculate Part C Score: Calculate Nathan's score for Part C.Since Part C is worth 50% of the total score, and Nathan needs 27% more to reach 70%, his score from Part C must be 27% of the total score.But we need to express this as a percent of the score for Part C, not of the total score.So, Nathan's score for Part C = (27%/50%)×100%=54%.
