Calculating Grade Averages
• You are in the class from H… the teacher has decided that your grade for the quarter will be based on the following weighting:– Exams 60%– Homeworks 30%– Labs 10%
• You score 50% average on your exams, a 70% average on your homework, and an 90% average on your labs.
• Do you pass the course the first quarter?
Calculating Grade Averages
• If the teacher averaged the 3 grades, you would simply add your 3 grades and divide by 3
(50 + 70 + 90 ) / 3 = ___________= you pass and your family is happy!
• BUT = the grade is weighted, so:– Exams 60% x 50% avg = – Homeworks 30% x 70% avg = – Labs 10% x 100% avg = ____– The total comes out to be

Calculating Grade Averages• Problem #1 - Evil Mr. Foley decides your
second quarter exams will be 80% of your Test grade, HW will be 10%, and Labs will be 10%. If you score a 60 avg on exams, an 80 avg on labs, and a 100 avg on labs, do you pass?
Calculating Grade Averages• Problem #2 – Mr. Foley’s good twin decides in his
class that the weighting will be quite different. For the second quarter, exams will be 50% of your grade, HW will be 30%, and Labs will be 20%. If you still score a 60 avg on exams, an 80 avg on homework, and a 100 avg on labs, do you pass?
