Default How to Weight Grades vs. Averaging Student Grades

Hello Programmers,
I want to modify a grade-tracking sheet that scores students based on
points:

Assignments are entered into columns with possible point values in row
10, and students' points are entered below (each student on every
other row).

Formulas:
--Total points possible are in col. O: =SUMIF(AO14:AP14,"-.99",AO
$10:AP$10)
--Total points earned are in col. P: =SUMIF(AO14:AP14,"-.
99",AO14:AP14)
--Total averaged assignment %s earned are in col. Q:
{=IF(SUMIF($AO14:$AP14,"-1",$AO$10:$AP
$10)=0,"",SUMIF($AO14:$AP14,"-1",$AO14:$AP14)/SUMIF($AO14:$AP14,"-1",
$AO$10:$AP$10)*100)}

What I'd like is for assignments to somehow be weighted based on their
point value. For instance, say there are these assignments and
possible point values:

--Assign names in Row 9: Assign1 Project Report
Quiz UnitTest
--Assign points in Row 10: 10 25
20 50 100

So, there are 205 points possible. The formula above simply averages
scores together, but I want the 100 point assignment to = 48.78% of
the grade, the 50 point assign to = 24.39% of the grade, etc.

Also, not every student will do every assignment-there could be null
cells in the student rows.

Thanks very much
Arnold
