To find Jack's overall grade, we first need to calculate the total points he earned and the total points possible from both the original test and the retest.

  1. Original Test:

    • Points earned: 13
    • Total points: 17
  2. Retest:

    • Points earned: 12
    • Total points: 15

Next, we sum the points earned and the total points:

Total Points Earned: \[ 13 + 12 = 25 \]

Total Points Possible: \[ 17 + 15 = 32 \]

Now, we can calculate Jack's overall grade by dividing the total points earned by the total points possible and converting it to a percentage:

\[ \text{Overall Grade} = \left( \frac{25}{32} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this:

\[ \frac{25}{32} \approx 0.78125 \] \[ 0.78125 \times 100 \approx 78.125% \]

Therefore, Jack's overall grade is approximately 78.13% (rounded to two decimal places).
