Q: A student’s overall average in the course is calculated using the following formula: $$\text{Overall Average} = (\text{Test 1})(0.21) + (\text{Test 2})(0.21) + (\text{Final})(0.23) + (\text{Homework Average})(0.35) If a $$student scores 80 on Test 1, 90 on Test 2, 85 on the Final, and 95 on Homework, what is their overall average?

$$0.21 \times 80 + 0.21 \times 90 + 0.23 \times 85 + 0.35 \times 95 = 87.85$$

Q: A student’s homework grade is made up of MyLabs (30%) and Canvas assignments (5%). If a student scores 90% on MyLabs and 80% on Canvas assignments, what is their homework average?

$$0.30 \times 90 + 0.05 \times 80 = 27 + 4 = 31 ($$Homework average out of 35 possible points)

Question 2

A student’s overall average in the course is calculated using the following formula:

$$	ext{Overall Average} = (	ext{Test 1})(0.21) + (	ext{Test 2})(0.21) + (	ext{Final})(0.23) + (	ext{Homework Average})(0.35)

If a $$student scores 80 on Test 1, 90 on Test 2, 85 on the Final, and 95 on Homework, what is their overall average?

Accepted Answer

$$0.21 	imes 80 + 0.21 	imes 90 + 0.23 	imes 85 + 0.35 	imes 95 = 87.85$$

Question 7

A student’s homework grade is made up of MyLabs (30%) and Canvas assignments (5%). If a student scores 90% on MyLabs and 80% on Canvas assignments, what is their homework average?
