Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
take the weighted average. 75% means a weight of 3
25% means a weight of 1
multiply the average of the 4 final exams by 3
add to the discussion grade
then divide by 4
(74.29+ 71.43+65.71+65.71)/4=145.72+ 131.42= 277.14/4=69.285= 75%
3(69.285)=207.855
97.25=25%
[3(69.285)+97.25]/4 = 305.105/4 = 76.27625 % = Final Grade
suggest you use a calculator
I didn't so no guarantee it's errorless above
rough check on the answer
round things off
about 70 on the exams
about 100 for the discussion grade
3(70)+100 = 310
310/4 = 74.5 = close to 76, within 1 1/2 %
Sean gets a C letter grade
