    Look at it this way.

    If your present 75 and your term project grade had equal weight, the average would just be 75 + 85 = 160/2 = 80

    However, they do not have equal weight. Your term paper is worth 1/4 of your present 75. So your new average is

    75 +75 + 75 + 85 = 310/4 (because now you are averaging 4 terms) = 77.5

    >but i'm only averaging for this term, not four< LOL!! Oh dear.... you really have no clue do you? Now you are average 4 "terms" in this case, terms means numbers, not terms in school.
