Question

If I have a 61 in a class and I get a 97 on a test what would my grade be? Tests are 60% of our grade

Answer 1

hmm you mean that if you have 61 test, you get 97% on each test what grade you will have?

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

actually wait

Answer 4

what's your overall test average so far?

Answer 5

to figure this out, we would need to know what grades you've gotten on your other tests, then average them in

Answer 6

but looks like you will get 85+ grade

Answer 7

I have had 2 tests so far one i got a 90 and the other I was absent so the teacher gave me a zero

Answer 8

So what would my grade be?

Answer 9

well, your 3 tests are: 97,0,and 90, so that averages together to get 62.33

62.3(0.60) + 61(0.40) = 61.78

can you try and make up the test? D:

Answer 10

Nope the teacher wont let me

Answer 11

What would my overall grade be?

Answer 12

61.78

Answer 13

if it weren't for that 0 it would be a lot higher :(

Answer 14

But my grade right now is a 61.26 so if I get a 97 and tests are 60% of my grade; what would my grade be now?

Answer 15

you have 3 tests, 90,97, and 0. that averages to get 62.33

tests are 60%, so

(0.6)(62.33) + (0.4)(61.26) = 61.9

Answer 16

the reason why it's not higher is because of that 0 test

Answer 17

your grade would be 61.9

Answer 18

But shouldn't it go higher if I get a 97.

Answer 19

nope, I just did the math.

Answer 20

I already averaged in the 97

Answer 21

oh well thank you
