Question

Grade Scale:
The following final averages will yield at least the accompanying letter grade in the course:
85-100 A
65-84 B
40-64 C
20-39 D

Answer 1

Is there a question?

Answer 2

What do you mean by "what DOESN'T this mean"?

Answer 3

I am just as perplexed as @mathstudent55
Perhaps clarify a bit more?

Answer 4

Sorry what does this mean

Answer 5

If your average of tests, homework, exams, etc. (whatever the teacher counts toward your grade) is from 85 to 100 then you get an A. If it is from 65 to 85, you get a B. Etc.

Answer 6

It literally states what it means in the problem. If you get a certain score, you will get a certain letter grade.

Answer 7

What f I get a 85 percent in class. I will get an A as my class grade

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

And if I get a 70 percent in ye class. I will get a B as my letter grade.

Answer 10

if you get 84 then is a B ... thats pretty much the range your professor have for grading the class. However remember those grades are final and represents average of all the grades you had in class.. lets say homework, exams, participation etc..

Answer 11

So if I get an 85. Percent on the first, is there a chance I get a B in class

Answer 12

What I find interesting is the use of the expression "at least the accompanying letter grade."
That may mean that if a student gets an overall average of 84, which is just under the minimum grade for an A, perhaps the teacher will take into account class participation, effort, no latenesses to class, no absences, etc. to move the grade up to an A.

Answer 13

An 85 average is at least an A.

Answer 14

toxicsugar22 I'm pretty confused on this, are you sure there isn't anymore to the problem?

Answer 15

At the same time, by stating "at least", an 85 cannot turn into a B.

Answer 16

Sorry if I get a 85 on the first test do I get an A and then let's say on the second test I get a 70, I will have a an a in the class. Or will he add the two grades and divide it by two

Answer 17

Like will he add 85 and 70 and divide it by two

Answer 18

Or no

Answer 19

It does say "the following final averages", so he uses the average of the grades.
If you only had one test and you got 85, you'd have an A.
If you have an 85 in one test and a 70 in a second test, and those are all the grades, and the two tests count the same, then you average the grades the way you wrote above, and that's your average. (85 + 70)/2 = 77.5 or 78. This is a B.
