Weighted average of groups combined = (group A proportion)(group A average) + (group B proportion)(group B average) + (group C proportion)(group C average) + ...

So, here we have: Final grade = (lab work weighting)(lab work grade) + (final exam weighting)(final exam grade)

Let x = final exam grade

Plug in values to get: 75 = (2/3)(80) + (1/3)(x)
Simplify: 75 = 160/3 + x/3
Multiply both sides by 3 to get: 225 = 160 + x
Solve: x = 65

Answer: A
