Susan received a 60% in her final paper worth 25%. This was Susan's last assignment before final grades are handed out. If Susan had a 75% average prior to the paper, what will her mark be now after receiving the 60% on the paper?
(3 * 75) + 60 / 4 = 71.25%
To calculate Susan's mark after receiving a 60% on her final paper, we need to consider her previous average and the weightage of the paper.
First, let's find out how much the final paper contributes to Susan's final grade. It is mentioned that the final paper is worth 25% of the overall grade. This means that the remaining 75% of her grade is made up of previous assignments and exams.
Next, we'll calculate the weighted average of Susan's previous assignments and exams. The previous average of 75% is multiplied by 75% (since it represents 75% of the overall grade).
(75% * 75%) = 56.25%
So, Susan's average from her previous assignments and exams is 56.25%.
Now, we'll calculate the contribution of her final paper to her overall grade. The final paper is worth 25% of her overall grade, and she received a mark of 60% on it.
(25% * 60%) = 15%
The final step is to add her previous average and the contribution of her final paper to get her final grade.
56.25% + 15% = 71.25%
Therefore, Susan's mark after receiving a 60% on her final paper will be 71.25%.
