You can put this solution on YOUR website! not very good.
it depends on the weighting that was given to you by your class work and each test.
if your class work is worth 50% and your test scores are worth 50%, then you would get .5*94 + .5*50 = 72
if your class work is worth 25% and your test scores are worth 75% then you would get .25*94 + .75*50 = 61
if your class work is worth 75% and your test scores are worth 25% then you would get .75*94 + .25*50 = 83
you won't be able to figure your final grade until you know what the weighting factors are.
also, if you take several tests, they each might have a different weighting.
an ordinary test might be only worth 10% of your grade while a semi-final might be worth 20% of your grade while a final exam might be worth 30% of your grade while your classwork might be worth the difference.
suppose you take 3 tests plus a semi-final plus a final.
3*10% + 1*20% + 1*30% = 80% which leaves 20% for the classwork.
the formula that your instructor uses for the final score is what will determine your overall score.
you need to check with your teacher.
