This is very simple. I'll give you a medal +fan! Lets say your grade in a class is 68%. And there is a project worth 15% of your grade. If you get a 0 in your project, what will your final grade in your class be?
okay. so I'm assuming the current grade is weighted .85 and the project is weighted .15, correct?
Yup
It is indeed very simple. just take 68*.85+0*.15=57.8 Sorry bud but it looks like you will have to do that project.
Ok thanks! I'll do it.
so just how much do you have to get on the project to get a 60? Also simple. you search for 68*.85+x*.15=60 solve for x and you'll get x=14.667 so you'll need at least 15 points on the project to pass
make sure this is indeed the grading though, otherwise it might look different. For instance, if there is an entire project CATEGORY than this project is only worth part of the category grade
