If I have a 99% and my test is weighted 13% what percentage do I need to get on the test to get an overall grade of 96%
To calculate the grade you need on the test to achieve an overall grade of 96%, you can use the following formula:
(0.99 * 0.87) + (x * 0.13) = 0.96
Where:
- 0.99 is your current grade
- 0.87 is the weight of your current grade (100% - 13%)
- x is the grade you need to get on the test (unknown)
- 0.13 is the weight of the test
- 0.96 is your desired overall grade
Solving for x:
(0.8613) + (0.13x) = 0.96
0.13x = 0.0967
x = 0.0967 / 0.13
x = 0.74
Therefore, you need to get at least a 74% on the test to achieve an overall grade of 96%.
