Test grades final

Question

If I have a 97 in math and I got a 60 on my midterm that’s worth 15% of our grade what’s my final grade?

Answer 1

The midterm is 15% so in turn, that means 85% of the class is done prior to the midterm.

This means that you scored 97% of that 85% so far.

Written in mathematical terms, that looks like this:

.97*85 = 82.45%

82.45% is what you have before the midterm starts.

Next, it says you scored 60 on the midterm. Since the midterm is 15%, it looks like this in math terms:

.6*15 = 9%

Your final grade therefore, will be:

82.45+9 =91.45%

(this is without rounding or any curves)
