Q: If a student scores the following: 80% on Midterms, 90% on the Final Exam, 100% on Concept Checks, 70% on ALEKS Homework, and 100% on Participation, what is their weighted average for the course? Use the weights from the pie chart.

$$0.36 \times 80 + 0.20 \times 90 + 0.20 \times 100 + 0.15 \times 70 + 0.09 \times 100 = 28.8 + 18 + 20 + 10.5 + 9 = 86.3\%$$

Question 2

If a student scores the following: 80% on Midterms, 90% on the Final Exam, 100% on Concept Checks, 70% on ALEKS Homework, and 100% on Participation, what is their weighted average for the course? Use the weights from the pie chart.

Accepted Answer

$$0.36 	imes 80 + 0.20 	imes 90 + 0.20 	imes 100 + 0.15 	imes 70 + 0.09 	imes 100 = 28.8 + 18 + 20 + 10.5 + 9 = 86.3\%$$
