Question 705276: if someone has a grade of 86% as their course grade and then they get a 0% on a test which counts as 20% of their final course grade, what would their final overall course grade be? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
Since the exam counts 20%, the course grade counts 100%-20% or 80%
The formula is
Final grade = 80% of course grade + 20% of exam grade
Final grade = 80% of 86% + 20% of 0%
Final grade = (.80)(.86) + (.20)(0)
Final grade = .688 = 68.8%
