Math Problem Statement

If my original grade is 100, but I score a 50 on a 10% weighted assignment, what is my grade now

Solution

To calculate your new grade after scoring 50 on a 10% weighted assignment, you need to consider the impact of that assignment on your overall grade.

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Original grade: 100.
  2. Assignment score: 50 (on a 10% weighted assignment).
  3. Remaining weight: 90% of your grade remains from your original score (since only 10% is from the new assignment).

Now, apply the weighted average formula:

New Grade=(90%×100)+(10%×50)\text{New Grade} = (90\% \times 100) + (10\% \times 50)

Breaking it down:

New Grade=(0.90×100)+(0.10×50)\text{New Grade} = (0.90 \times 100) + (0.10 \times 50) New Grade=90+5=95\text{New Grade} = 90 + 5 = 95

So, your new grade is 95.
