Answer 1

Assuming this is the final, and there are 500 points available to earn and exams count for 100 of them; We need to know the total from your other 4 exams prior to answer your question. Example: 75% on exam 1, 88% on exam 2, 99% on exam 3, 72% on exam 4: (.75X.2)+(.88x.2)+(.99x.2)+(.72x.2)+(.68x.2) = .15+.176+.198+.144+(.136)= .804 or 80.4% or 80.4 points, Then add that to all the other points out of 400 you earned from assignments, projects etc.

TLDR: .68 times .2 times .2 plus .63 = your final grade in %

Answer 2

Your final grade would be a 64.

Since your exam is worth 20% of your final grade, you would multiply 68 × 0.20 to get 13.6. The remaining 80% of your grade is a 63 so you would multiply 63 × 0.80 to get 50.4. After adding 13.6 + 50.4, you would get a sum of 64. You can also type (68 × 0.20) + (63 × 0.80) into your calculator and you should get 64.
