    It depends.

    What is the weighted average of everything?

    Test make up what % of your grade, and was it 55/100? what is the total value of the cumulative tests 555/1230?

    This one test accounts for 20% of your overall grade?

    So then, 91% is based on 80% of your mark.

    so x/80=.91
    x = 72.8/80
    + 55% of 20 = 11/20

    based on these calculations, your new grade is 83.8/100 = 83.8%

    However, I suspect that all tests make up 20% of your grade, in which case, you need to know the results of all tests to determine the grade.
