Question

Don't shame I'm just trying to pass, my assignment's weigh 35% of my grade, right now my assignment percentage is 65%. My test which holds 45% of my grade is at 85% and my final is 20%, which I got a 90 on. If I take 7 0's in assignments, what would my grade be? Basically asking how many 0's under assignments can I basically take so I do not fail. Hope this makes sense

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's start by weighing everything but the assignments. We'll get back to them momentarily.

You have 85% on 45% of your grade. That's 38.25

Your final weighs in at 20%. You have. 18

So your total so far is 56.25

Now that looks mighty low, but we haven't put in the assignments yet.

So by the time you are finished you will have done 41 out of 48 assignments and that means you have done (41/48)*100 = 85.41 of the work. On these assignments that you have done, you averaged 65%

So your assignment mark will be 0.65 * 85.41 = 55.52

The weighted average = 0.35

The mark you will get is 0.35 * 55.52 = 19.32

So your final grade will be 56.25

Grade 75.57

In Canada (where I live), that would be a solid B. I don't know how things are calculated in the US, but I have done the work properly, I think.
