Can someone please help me with the following question:
A candidate's final mark in a GCSE examination is calculated from two components as follows:
Final mark= mark in component 1 x 0.6 + mark in component 2 x 0.4
A candidate needs a mark of 80 or more to be awarded a grade A*. If the mark awarded in component 2 was 70, what would be the least mark needed in component 1 to gain a grade A* ?
