Question

I just took a science test and got a 80% on the test. CBA's are 50% of our grade and I had a 98% in science class. How much will my grade drop?, what will my new grade be?​

Answer 1

Grade drops 9 percentage points.

New overall grade is 89%

Explanation:

The test with a score of 80% accounts for 50% of the grade.

The current average of 98% accounts for the other 50% of the grade.

50% of 80% + 50% of 98% =

= 40% + 49%

= 89%

The new overall grade is 89%.

Since the previous overall grade, before the test, was 98%,

and 98% - 89% = 9%, then

the new grade is 9 percentage points lower than the previous overall grade.
