What is Joel's expected final average? A) 86 B) 89 C) 90 D) 92
OpenStudy (phi):
I would change all the percents to decimals e.g. 10% becomes 0.10 then multiply each grade by its corresponding decimal. example 0.10*85 add up all 4 results. what do you get ?
OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):
E1. 8.5 E2. 13.5 E3.20 E4.50
OpenStudy (phi):
ok, now add them up, that is the "weighted average" (notice if all 4 used 25% we would get the usual average)
