The easiest way to set up percent based (or weighted) grading for your Canvas course is to use groups on the Assignments page. Assignment groups are used to show how the different assignments in your course are weighted differently. Yet, there are some important considerations and things you should understand when you go to set up your Assignment Groups and Assignments.
Here are a few useful guides that might help as well:
How do I add Assignment Groups in my course?
How do I weight the final course grade based on Assignment Groups?
I know this can definitely be confusing, but I hope it helps!
