Q: A student wants to calculate their overall grade. If they earned 90% on homework (worth 15%), 80% on quizzes (worth 15%), 85% on exams (worth 60%), and 100% on the project (worth 10%), what is their final grade percentage? Use the formula: $$\text{Final Grade} = (\text{Homework} \times 0.15) + (\text{Quizzes} \times 0.15) + (\text{Exams} \times 0.60) + (\text{Project} \times 0.10)$$

$$0.90 \times 0.15 + 0.80 \times 0.15 + 0.85 \times 0.60 + 1.00 \times 0.10 = 0.135 + 0.12 + 0.51 + 0.10 = 0.865 or 86.5$$%
