if i have a 76% and i resubmit an assignment that got a 50 because I missed a part and I receive 75% back for resubmitting correctly, what will my grade on estimate be afterwards?

To calculate your new grade after resubmitting the assignment, we'll first need to determine how much weight the assignment carries in your overall grade. However, without knowing the weight of the assignment, I can still show you how to calculate the new grade based on the given scores.

Let's assume the assignment is worth 100% of its grading segment and the 76% is your overall score before the resubmission.

  1. Original grade contribution:

    • You had a grade of 76% before resubmitting the assignment.
    • Let’s say your overall score is made up of the original assignment grade (50%) plus the other grades contributing to the 76%.
  2. Weight of the assignment:

    • Assign a weight to the assignment. Let's say its overall weight in your grade is \(X\) percent. For the purpose of this example, let’s assume the assignment is 10% of your overall grade.
  3. Calculation of new overall grade:

    • Original contribution of the failed assignment to overall grade (before resubmission): \(0.1 \times 50 = 5\)
    • Contribution of the resubmitted assignment: \(0.1 \times 75 = 7.5\)
  4. Total contributions to overall score:

    • The overall score can change because you're improving the score on the failed assignment.
    • We need to recalculate your overall score by removing the original assignment's contribution and adding the new one.
    • Therefore, your new overall score would be:
      • \(76 - 5 + 7.5 = 78.5\)

So, if the assignment is worth 10% of your total grade, and you resubmit it correctly, your new grade would be approximately 78.5%.

If the assignment weights or other components are different, please replace them in the calculations accordingly!
