Question

My grade is a 77%, if i get a 0% on a paper worth 30% of my grade, what will my grade be now??

Answer 1

$Grade=Paper+Other$
$Grade=(Grade_{paper}\times Value_{paper})+(Grade_{other}\times Value_{other})$
$Grade=(0 \times 30\%)+(77\% \times (1-30\%))$
$Grade=(0 \times 30\%)+(77\% \times 70\%)$
$Grade=0+53.9\%$
$Grade=53.9\%$
