Math Wiz needed

[Veritable_RN]

I am horrible at math. When I do math I just do it over and over and it will click. I have been trying to figure this out for a week and can not grasp the concept of different percents of a grade. In med terms these are my grades and what percent thay are worth. Can anyone tell me what my grade is? Thanks in advance. Also an explanation would be good so I can try to do it my self and get the same answer.

Assignment .........% of grade ...............Total points .................my grade

Case study ..............15 ........................100 ............................88

case study ..............15 ........................100 ............................0

Discussion board .......15 ........................70 ............................68

quizes .....................15 ........................1200 ........................1085

Midterm ...................20 ........................100 ..........................91.5

Final .......................20 .........................100 ...........................95

Homework ................15 .........................100 ...........................50

thank you

Go to this web page: http://web.ku.edu/~utile/grade_calculator.html You can put in your grades and the weight of each. It will calculate your current grades as well as what you need to get for the remainder of your coursework.

It does seem a bit strange, since the percentage total is 115%. Your total points as a percentage are 230.95. The total points possible by percentage is 275. So if you divide 275 by 230.95, that equals 83.9%. If you take the total points you got, and divide by the total points possible, the answer is 83.4%. The reason the first answer was higher is because you got higher scores on your midterm and final, which were weighted more. Hope this helps.

Strange is not the half of it! The homework portion is not on the blackboard because it was not on the syllabus but she later told me it was worth 15% and I did not turn in half of it. Which is wrong, when ever she put in her weeks instructions to send her a report from the cd I did. Some weeks she stated " as always do you homework from the cd to practice for the test" The weeks it did not say to send the report I did not send it, the first week I sent the report and she e-mailed me that I did not have to send it that week. So I only sent it when her instruction said to. Well I recieved a C. She told me my grade was 82.9 and according to her scale 84 is a B.

I am going to go talk to someone after the break because that C has brought my GPA down.

Thank for you help and the link.

Sounds like you go to Baker college. This place is famous for "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing". Good luck trying to get everything sorted out - I can totally understand your frustration.
