You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your test = 1%2F5
Everything else = 4%2F5
4%2F5 of your grade is 94. Multiply 94 * 4, 376
If you get 55 on the test, your grade is 376 + 55, or 431 out of 500
431/500 = 86.2
.
Shame to throw away the A. Ask for some extra credit. You only need a 69 to have a 90 average.
