At a certain high school, the respective weights for the following subjects are:
Mathematics 3, English 3, History 2, Science 2 and Art 1.
What is a student's average whose marks were the following: Geometry 89,
American Literature 92, American History 94, Biology 81, and Sculpture 85?
:
We can do it this way:
Av = %28%283%2889%29+%2B+3%2892%29+%2B+2%2894%29+%2B+2%2881%29+%2B+85%29%29%2F11
:
Av = %28%28267+%2B+276+%2B+188+%2B+162+%2B+85%29%29%2F11
;
////////////I made an addition mistake here, it should be: 978, not 987/////////
Av = 978%2F11
which gives us:
Av = 88.9, which is answer that you want. I'm sorry!
