The method, explained
Updated grade = (current earned + new earned)/(current possible + new possible) × 100%.
Using current earned points = 350, current possible points = 400, new earned points = 85, new possible points = 100, the result is 87 %. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
