I need one math question and its about percentages

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Heya, what's the question you need answered?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah i need help to caculate my grade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 89.16% so i want a A so how much 5 points is worth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From a little quiz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will that five points give me an A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. How many total points from all assignments and tests have there been since the semester started?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok um

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There 812 possible points to get a hundred percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lukas also has a point. You'd need the total points and the weight of quizes in the class.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right now i am 724

OpenStudy (anonymous):

out of 812

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 724/812 possible points i just want enough points to get me atleast just 90%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh OK. You have 724/812, now you must add 5 to both the numerator and denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The current percentage i am in is 89.16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is 729/817 = 89.23% assuming you got a 100% on your 5-point test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah if i got all five points witch is 5/5 will i get a hundred

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, you'll get a 100% on your quiz, and a new grade of 89.23% in the class. In all honesty, 5 points does not make a huge mark on your class grade.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think i didnt explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know how you added five points to 812 to make it 817

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well how can i explain this the 812 wont change because its not a new test i have to take its an old one that i have t do so basicaly if i do the quiz will my grade go up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get what you saying but should it suppose to be like this 724/812

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What was the old grade of your test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And overall up my grade little bit more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok from all my assignments and tests i finished them ok but this quiz witch is 5/5 i havent tooken it was a month ago and yes my teacher said i can still take it so yeah if that make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if I understand correctly, I think your new grade would be 729/812 = 89.77% which would be real close to the grade you want.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe you did the caculation right XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cool, good luck with your A!
