I’m trying to figure out how much my test are weight for my overall grade: on my first test I got 36% then I had one assignmen I got an 83% and the other asisgment I got 91%.my teacher emailed me today saying that I’m current grade is a 42% based on those 3 things. There’s 4 units, and 3 more assignments to come. Also what would I need on my next test to have a grade of a 85% in the class.
To calculate the weight of your tests for your overall grade, you need to know the total weight of all the assignments and tests in the class. Without this information, it is difficult to determine how much weight each test carries for your grade.
To calculate what you would need on your next test to achieve an 85% overall grade in the class, you can use the following formula:
(0.36 x 36) + (0.27 x 83) + (0.27 x 91) + (x) = 85
Where:
- 0.36 is the weight of your first test
- 0.27 is the weight of each assignment
- x is the score you need on your next test
Solving for x:
(12.96) + (22.41) + (24.57) + (x) = 85
59.94 + x = 85
x = 85 - 59.94
x = 25.06
You would need to score approximately 25.06% on your next test to achieve an 85% overall grade in the class.
