I just have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I just finished a physics course where the final exam weighs at 40% of my final mark while the assignments weight at 60% which =100% total

For my assignments I got a terrible 843.99 out of 1,408. I'm not quite sure what I got on the final exam. So what I'm trying to ask is the 843.99 out of 1,408 would equal what percentage out of the possible 60% needed ?

Thank you :)
