if my overall grade in language arts in 99% what would be my overall grade if i got a 87 on a test that was 19% percent of my overall grade

Answer 1

To calculate your overall grade after receiving a score on a test, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Overall Grade} = (\text{Current Grade} \times \text{Weight of Current Grade}) + (\text{Test Score} \times \text{Weight of Test Score}) \]

In this case:

• Current Grade = 99%
• Weight of Current Grade = 100% - 19% = 81% (since the test is worth 19%)
• Test Score = 87%
• Weight of Test Score = 19%

Now plug in the values:

\[ \text{Overall Grade} = (99 \times 0.81) + (87 \times 0.19) \]

Calculating each part:

1. \( 99 \times 0.81 = 80.19 \)
2. \( 87 \times 0.19 = 16.53 \)

Now add those two results together:

\[ \text{Overall Grade} = 80.19 + 16.53 = 96.72 \]

So, your overall grade after the test would be approximately 96.72%.
