Question

Biochemistry lab is worth 25% of your total MCB 2000 course grade. Of that 25%, the weekly laboratory reports account for 45%. From this 45%, 10% is for participation and 90% if from the actual laboratory report score. You will be submitting a total of nine laboratory reports over the course of the semester. Based on this information, each laboratory report is worth _____________percent of your total grade for the MCB 2000 course. Please enter your answer in numeric format: 1, 2, 3, etc. (round to the nearest whole number)

Answer 1

Answer: 1%

Step-by-step explanation: Total 2,000

BioChem Lab: 25% of total = 25% . 2000 = 500

LabRep: 45% of Lab = 45% . 500 = 225

There will be 9 LabRep: 225/9 = 25

Participation: 10% of LabRep = 10% . 25 = 2.5

Actual LabRep: 90% of LabRep = 90% . 25 = 22.5

So, each lab report is worth 22.5 of 2000 = 2.5/2000 = 0.01125 = 1.125%

Nearest whole number = 1%
