document.write( "Question 1011062: hello, so i recently had a 90% in my algebra 2 class which is an a- at my school. i took the final and got a c on it which brought me down to an 87% which is a very low b+. i still have an essay to do which is worth 20 points and it is a test grade. i am wondering if i get the full points from the essay, will my 87 go up to at least an 89? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
20 points is what percent of your total score?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if it is 20% of your total score, and the 87% represents 80% of your total score, then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "87% * .8 + 100% * .2 = 89.6%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it all depends on what the weighting factor is.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if it is only 10% of your total score, and the 87% represents 90% of your total score, then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "87% * .9 + 100% * .1 = 88.3%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it all depends on the weighting factor.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the total points you could earn is 100 points, then 20 points is worth 20% of your total score.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "it's a reasonable assumption, but you would need to check to make sure.\r
