Question: 70 students got an average score of 80, 30 students got an average score of 70. What is the average score of all students? Please explain how you calculate.
-------------------
Average = total number of points/total number of students
----------------------
Total # of points = 70*80 + 30*70 =7700
Total # of students = 70 + 30 = 100
-----------------------------------------------
Average for all the students = 7700/100 = 77
