I just got a major test back (it's geography, so don't worry). I received the esteemed mark of "73". Know why? Because I was given 5/20 on a section.

Now, what I did wrong was":
We had to make an "age pyramid", where we put everyone of said age in a graph representing their % of the total population.
However, since male is seperated from female, I made the mistake of putting them in the % of the population of the same sexe.

Now, this error was simply changing

X/2111*100 to x/949*100

But it cost me EVERY DAMN ANSWER!


Now, the question is, and I unsuccesfully tried to use this to get some points, should I be punished multiple times for my one mistake? My teacher's argument is "The answers are wrong" whereas mine is "The answers are wrong because the first answer is wrong! I shouldn't lose all the points, I did the work correctly!"
