Okay so my overall grade was 100 i got a 87.50 on an assignment which was 4/4 questions i missed .5 and now my grade is a 94
i dont understand when i only missed a half a point.
:
half a point in an assignment worth 4 points, is worth 1/8 of the grade. you had 7/8 of the assignment right; * 100 = 87.5%
:
Evidently the assignment counted just as much as your overall grade did
= 93.75 ~ 94%
