Quick math question regarding my biology homework. So I get two attempts on a homework assignment and if I received 97.37 % on my first attempt and if I wanted to do the second attempt I am able to better my score and could potentially get 100% since I only missed one question but for doing the second attempt I automatically get docked 3% of the whole assignment. Should I just leave it as is or should I go for the second attempt? If I do go for the second attempt am I right that if I do get 100% and then get the 3% docked I will go back to my original percent?
I hope this makes sense.
