Hello. My name is Jack and I am a junior in high school. Here is my question:

I got an 80 on test 1 and a 65 on test 2. The first test is worth 35% of our total grade and the second is worth 40%. What is my grade right now?

Thank you!!

Hi Jack,

I expect that what your teacher will do is calculate 35% of your score on the first test and add 40% of your score on the second test. That is

Thus, at the moment, you have 54 of a possible 70 points or (54/70)x100 = 77% of the points available.

Cheers,
