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:
- Original grade: 100.
- Assignment score: 50 (on a 10% weighted assignment).
- 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:
Breaking it down:
So, your new grade is 95.
