Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} 1)75\cdot0.25+50\cdot0.35+80\cdot0.25+70\cdot0.15=66.75 \\ 2)75\cdot025+50\cdot0.35+80\cdot025+x\cdot0.15=80\rightarrow \\ 56.25+x\cdot0.15=80\rightarrow0.15\cdot x=80-56.25=23.75\rightarrow \\ x=(23.75)/(0.15)=158.33333 \\ So\text{ it is imposible to get a grade of 80 or better in this course } \end{gathered}`
