help.

oh and its worth 10% of my grade

Answer 1

If your passing grade is 65 like mine was, you just add up your four quarters and subtract it from 325.

Answer 2

Depends on how much each portion of the class is worth.

Say you had 5 homeworks, 3 projects, and 3 tests and the final remaining. Say homework was 20% of the course, projects 30% of the course, tests 30% of the course, and the final 20% of the course.

Take your average homework grade (assuming each homework is worth the same as each other homework), and multiply by 0.2 (20%). Average project grade * 0.3 (30%), average test grade * 0.30 (30%). You'll end up with a number that can't be higher than 80, let's call it A, and the grade on the final X you need to get, and the grade you want to get Z.

A +0.2*X = Z. You'll know what Z is (since you pick an 90 or an 80 or whatever), so it should look like:

X = 5*(Z - A)

Answer 3

ok you find out what each section is worth in your final grade (classwork=40% tests=40% homework=20%) then find your average for now by adding all the grades dividing by the number of grades then multiplying by the precent (classwork=.4) and adding all them together then you add the grde of the final in to whatever it goes under and find your average

Answer 4

Ask your teacher. You have a right to know. They don't all use the same formula. Anyway, you got no problem. A or A- isn't bad, at all.
