Question

Just s random question im asking for myself, ill give brain list.

I had a 79 in my class, took a state final thats worth 20% of my grade. I scored a 69, what will my grade drop to if that state exam is 20% of my grade and i scored a 69

Answer 1

Answer: a 0.5 difference

Explanation:

When you say something is 20% of your grade, the “100%” it's being compared to is your actual final grade, not a “100%” in the class (for clarity, I'm not writing grades with the percentage sign). 20% of 90 is 18, so getting none of those points would drop your score by 18 and not 20.
