Question

What would be my semester average?

Answer 1

Not enough information. In order for me to tell your your final grade, I'd have to know your exact grade (percentage wise) in the class, on the final, and how much the final is worth. To calculate your grade in the class, assuming that the final is worth a certain portion of your grade and everything else is worth the rest of your grade, you can use this formula:



(percentage final is worth) * (grade on final) + (percentage everything else is worth) * (grade on everything but final)



For example, if the final is worth 20%, you scored a 60% on the final, and you had an 87 going into the final, your final average would be calculated by:



(.2)*(60) + (.8)(87) = 81.6, or 82%.
