To find the cumulative (total) average of all students, we simply multiply each class average by the number of students, add the 2 sums together, and divide by the total number of students.
total students = 80 + 40 = 120 students
cumulative average = sum(class1 and class 2) / 120 students
= (80x30 + 40x50) / 120
= (2400 + 2000) / 120
= (4400) / 120
=36.6666666666666666 = 36 2/3

A teacher has two math classes.
In one class there are 80 students and the average grade on a test was 30.
Total points = 80*30 = 2400
--------------------
In her other class there are 40 students and the average grade on the same test is 50.
Total points = 40*50 = 2000
--------------------
What is the average grade of all her students?
Aver = total points/total # of students
= (2400+2000)/(80+40)
= 4400/120
= 36 2/3
