I have a question I would really appreciate the answer. If 15% of my grade is 74% and 96 is 15% of my grade and 40% of my grade is a 60.5% without the final counting for 30% what is my grade? Please help thank you.
So far, 70% of your score is allocated as follows:
.15*74 + .15*96 + .40*60.5 = 49.7
Since that is only 70% of your score, it's equivalent to 49.7/.70 = 70.1%
To find your overall grade, we need to calculate the weighted average of your grades. Let's break down the information given and solve step by step.
First, we know that 15% of your grade is 74%. To find out the total points possible in this category, we can use the formula:
Total points = (Given grade / Percentage) * 100
Total points = (74 / 15) * 100
Total points = 493.33
Next, we are given that 96 is 15% of your grade. Using the same formula as above:
Total points = (Given grade / Percentage) * 100
Total points = (96 / 15) * 100
Total points = 640
Moving on, we have 40% of your grade being 60.5%. Let's calculate the total points in this category:
Total points = (Given grade / Percentage) * 100
Total points = (60.5 / 40) * 100
Total points = 151.25
Now that we know the total points for each category, it's time to calculate the weighted average by combining all the percentages:
Weighted average = (Category 1 + Category 2 + Category 3) / Total weightage
In this case, the total weightage is 100 - 30 (since the final isn't counting for 30%) = 70.
Weighted average = ((Category 1 * Weightage 1) + (Category 2 * Weightage 2) + (Category 3 * Weightage 3)) / Total weightage
Weighted average = ((493.33 * 15) + (640 * 15) + (151.25 * 40)) / 70
Weighted average = (7399.95 + 9600 + 6050) / 70
Weighted average = 23049.95 / 70
Weighted average = 329.2857
Finally, your overall grade without counting the final is approximately 329.29.
Please note that this calculation assumes equal weighting within each category and that there are no other assignments or factors affecting your grade.
