OI! Need math help figuring out my grade!

I have a 75% right now. I didn't turn in two assignments totalling 16% of my grade. There are two more assignments totalling 10% and 15% (25%) of my grade that aren't over with yet. 16 total graded assignments.
What am I gonna have with my standing 75% -16% of my grade? What will I have if I get 80's on both the 10% and 15% assignments?
Trying to pull a C out of this class because of my slackass work ethic. I'm fucking horrible with math and numbers, so it's all beyond me.
ANY HELP WOULD BE FANTASTICAL!

It would be a whole hell of alot better if you put up your other grades and tell the grading scale of tests/quiz/cw/hw/ect ect.

75-16=59
10*.8=8
15*.8=12
So if 80% on 10% and 15%, you get 59-2-3=54% If 90% on both you get 59-1-1.5=56.5%
You should have turned in that 16%, that's a killer.
Hope I'm not missing anything.

No, actually I think I told you wrong, because in my calculations, even if you got 100% on the 10% and 15%, your grade would stay the same, and that's not right. I was basing it on a base of 75% of total points possible, when in reality you have 75% of points possible so far. Without knowing what that is 75% of, there's no way to do the problem.
So I would need: total points you have earned so far, points possible so far, and how many points there will be total for the class.

is the 16% with a 0 included in the 75 you currently have? if not, this is what i got:
59% * 75=44.25 16% * 0= 0.0 10% * 80= 8.0 +15% * 80=12.0 ________________ 100% 64.25

it's a class i could really care less about. it's in the cirriculum, but i'd rather not take it. the classes i actually give a shit about i do pretty damn well in.
and thanks to the guy up ^there. that seems right to me.
