My grade is at 76% I got a 60% on my exam that was worth 20% of my grade. What’s my grade now ?
To calculate your new grade, you need to consider the weight of the exam and adjust it accordingly. Here's how you can calculate your new grade:
1. Weight of exam: Since the exam is worth 20% of your grade, it contributes 20% to your overall grade.
Exam grade weight = 60% of 20% = 12%
2. Calculate the remaining weight for other assignments/exams:
Rest of the grade weight = Total weight - Exam grade weight
Rest of the grade weight = 100% - 20% = 80%
3. Calculate your grade on the remaining assignments/exams:
Achievement on other assignments/exams = Rest of the grade weight * Current grade in those assignments/exams
Achievement on other assignments/exams = 80% * 76% = 60.8%
4. Calculate your new overall grade by adding the contribution of the exam and the remaining assignments/exams:
New grade = Achievement on other assignments/exams + Exam grade weight
New grade = 60.8% + 12% = 72.8%
Therefore, your grade now is approximately 72.8%.
