Tests count for 50% of my average grade, quizzes count as 25% of my average, homework counts as 12.5% of my average, and teacher's helper counts as 12.5% of my average. If I made a 98 and a 72 on two separate tests, a 94 on a quiz, two 100's for two homework assignments, and 85 for teacher's helper, what is my average?

answer:
((98 + 72)/2)*0.50 + 94*0.25 + ((100 + 100)/2)*0.125 + 85*0.125 = 89.125%
