"Understand the problem" might rightly consist of
• Perform this step first
• Identify what you are being asked to solve or find.
• Identify the important words or numbers in the problem
• Identify any instructions that you are supposed to follow

One of my professors always insisted we start the solution of any problem by writing down what was Given, and what we had to Find, using those headers for the sections of the paper we turned in. Only after those were listed were we allowed to write the Solution. Solution papers that didn't have that format were tossed in the trash, and no credit was given. Harsh, but effective.

Answer:
a) The student cannot receive an A in the class.
b) The student must score 119 in the third exams to make an A. This is clearly not possible, since he cannot make 119 in a 100-points exam.
c) The student can make a B but he must score at least 84 in the third exam.
Step-by-step explanation:
To make an A, the student must score 315 (350 x 90%) in both home and the three exams.
The student who scored 35 (7 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 8) in the homework and 161 (81 + 80), getting a total of 196, is short by 119 (315 - 196) scores in making an A.
To make a B, the student must score 280 (350 x 80%) or higher but not reaching 315.
B ≥ 280 and < 315.
Since, the student had scored 196, he needs to score 84 and above to make a B in the last exam.
