If I get a 100 will it bring up my 60?

Question

I have a project worth 60% my grade in calculus, which is not my strong suit. if i get a 100% on this project how much will it bring up my grade?

Answer 1

Alana,

Lets say your grade average is s for everything else in the semester which includes projects that may come later. These together are 40% of your grade and the project on your mind is 60%.

Then the final grade is: 0.4s + 0.6(100) = 0.4s + 60. For example, if s=64 (your weighted grade for everything else) than you can pull it up to 85.6.

A 100% on this project will contribute 60 to your final grade.

Good luck to you, I hope you will get this 100% as you are hoping!
