Answer:


77.7\text{ \%}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the current grade

The total grade worth that he has worked on is:


\text{ 12\% + 20\% + }5\text{\% = 37\%}

Now, let us calculate how much of these points he has:

For the 20% worth, he has:


(68)/(100)*\text{ 20\% = 13.6 \%}

For the 12%, we have:


(90)/(100)*\text{ 12= 10.8\%}

For the 5%, he scored 87%, we have it that:


(87)/(100)*\text{ 5\% = 4.35\%}

The total he has now is:


4.35\text{ + 10.8 + 13.6 = 28.75\%}

What this mean is that he has amassed 28.75% out of the total 37%

Now, let us get this percentage

Mathematically, that would be:


(28.75)/(37)*\text{ 100 \% = 77.7 \%}
