Question

Help with percents please!

Answer 1

Here is what I would do first.

Answer 2

Change all of your percents into decimals. This makes it easier to multiply when the times comes

Answer 3

Homework = 0.1
Quizzes = 0.15
Tests = 0.35
Project = 0.40

Answer 4

Now lets see what her results were from her quarter:
Homework: 98
Quiz: 96
Test: 82
Project: 76

Answer 5

Now lets multiply the percent decimals with the actual grades. MAKE SURE you keep homework decimal and homework grade together, and so forth

Answer 6

Homework: (0.1)*(98)
Quiz: (0.15)*(96)
Test: (0.35)*(82)
Project: (0.40)*(76)

Answer 7

0.1 * 98 = 9.8
0.15 * 96 = 14.4
0.35 * 82 = 28.7
0.40 * 76 = 30.4

Answer 8

Now we get the following numbers:
Homework: 9.8
Quiz: 14.4
Test: 28.7
Project: 30.4

Answer 9

Now add up all those numbers:
9.8 + 14.4 + 28.7 + 30.4 = 83.3

Answer 10

83.3 is her quarterly average.
