For example, Emily received a 67 on her first economics exam, which counts for 20% of her grade; an 84 on her second exam, which counts for 30% of her grade; and a 78 on her third exam, which counts for 50% of her grade. What is her weighted average in the class

Based on the weights assigned to these grades, Emily's weighted average in the class would be 77.6 marks.

= ∑ (Percentage of grade x Score in exam)

Solving gives:

= (20% x 67) + ( 30 % x 84) + (50% x 78)

= 13.4 + 25.2 + 39

= 77.6

Emily's weighted average is 77.6 marks.

77.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Weighting :

First exam = 20% ; second exam = 30% ; third exam = 50%

Scores :

First exam = 67 ; second exam = 84 ; third exam = 78

Weighted Average :

Σ(Weight * Score)

Σ[(0.2 * 67) + (0.3 * 84) + (0.5 * 78)]

13.4 + 25.2 + 39

= 77.6

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
