In a particular class, exams are worth 50% of the overall grade, quizzes are worth 30% of the overall grade, homework is worth 15% of the overall grade, and class participation is worth 5% of the overall grade. A particular student has earned an average score of 87.9% on the exams, 77.8% on the quizzes, 90.0% on the homeworks, and 100.0% on class participation. What is this student's overall grade in the course?

The student's overall grade is 85.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that:

Exam = 50%; Quiz = 30%, Home work = 15% and Class participation = 5%

The total giving us 100%.

A particular student scored the following;

87.9% on exams, 77.8% quiz, 90% Home work and 100%  on class participation

Calculating the percentages the student had for each;

Exam total = 50*0.879 = 43.95% earned

Quiz = 30*0.778 = 23.34% earned

Home work = 15*0.9 = 13.5% earned

Class participation = 5*1 = 5% earned

Total earned = 43.95+ 23.34 + 13.5+ 5 = 85.79%

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
