Bobby has a 95 in his math class. He had a test and got a 83 on it. What is his grade now?
His grade in the class depends upon how much the test was weighted. If he had 10 grades that made up the 95 and the test was only worth 1/5 of those grades, the answer would be different than if both scores were weighted equally.
assuming the tests were worth 100 each;
95+83=178; 178/200=.89; .89*100=89
To find Bobby's grade after the test, you need to calculate his new average.
Step 1: Calculate the sum of his current grades.
Bobby's current grade in math is 95.
Step 2: Calculate the new sum of his grades after the test.
After the test, Bobby got an 83.
Step 3: Find the average by dividing the sum of his grades by the number of grades.
To find Bobby's average, add 95 and 83, then divide the sum by the total number of grades (2 in this case).
Now, let's calculate Bobby's new grade:
95 + 83 = 178
178 / 2 = 89
Therefore, Bobby's new grade in math after the test is 89.
