Figuring out my grades lol

Question

I have 6 HW assignments If my assignments are worth 25% of my grade and each assignment is worth 50 pts. And out of that 25 percent what would that 25 percent change too if I got a zero on one of the 6 assignments.

Answer 1

Since each homework assignment is worth the same number of points, each one is worth $\frac{1}{6}\times 25\% = 4.166...\%$ of your grade. So if you remove one of the six assignments, the rest make up $\frac{5}{6}\times 25\% = 20.833...\%$ of your grade.
