students grades, formulae to calculate what grade is needed based.

Could you give some more detail on how the final grade is calculated? For
example: how many assignments are there for each student, and the earned
grade and weight for each assignment. Are you dropping the lowest grade?

we have set up a excel sheet to monitor our childrens grades. i would
appreciate the formulae to calculate what grade my child needs to make on the
final to make a 90 in a particular class, if the final is weighted at 55%.
His current grade is 80, as an example.

thanks,

mark
