The grade would drop to 66.4% after receiving a 0.

To calculate how much a 0 will affect your grade, you can use the weighted average formula.

First, find the weighted value of your current grade by multiplying it by 83% (100% - 17%).

Then, find the weighted value of the 0 by multiplying it by 17%.

Add these two values together to get the new weighted average.

For example, if you have an 80% and the 0 is worth 17%, the calculation would be:

80% * 83% + 0% * 17%

= 66.4%.

So, your grade would drop to 66.4% after receiving a 0.
