Grade Possibility?
Hi! There are two similar questions here:
This is a math problem related to my grade that I was wondering about:
So, our math final exam is worth 20% of our final grade. There are three terms in a year though. The three term's average is 80% of your final grade. So, the average of my three terms is 75%. If I get and A (86% or 52/60) on my final exam, what will my final grade be?
Secondly:
I want to know how badly my mark can be affected if the following happens. (This is just for one term, so there is no weighing or final exams etc..)
I had a 90% out of 120 marks in science and got an 87% on a test out of 80 marks, because of this, my mark went down by 1%. Now, I am at an 89%. If in the next quiz I get 6/20, what will my mark be in science?
I hope the questions make sense, and would be grateful for any explanation or answer, so that I can plan accordingly.
Thanks in advance :)

Your final grade will be: 75*(0.8) + 86*(.2) = 77.2%
For the second, question (assuming the weighting is equal for all 3 quizzes): (90 + 87 + 30) / 3 = 69%

0.80(75) + 0.20(86) = 60 + 17.2 = 77.2 final grade
Any test grade lower than you average will lower that average.
