Bug Description

I have a student (https://gradebook.apsweb.org/schoolyears/2008-2009/term/sections/1/gradebook) with the following grades:

Test 10: 8/10
Lab 12: 13/14
Lab 13: 10/10
Test 11: 8/10

My category weights look like this:

Category weights for worksheet Quarter 2
Assignment
Essay
Exam 70
Homework
Journal
Lab 30
Presentation
Project

I assume the correct average should be 85%:
>>> round(100 * (.7 * (16.0/20) + .3 * (23.0/24)))
85.0

but the gradebook is instead reporting 170%. Total is correctly registering 39.

I entered the same numbers and got the desired result of 85%, so this bug is obsolete.
