You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your final grade is made up of two scores. 30% (or 0.3) of it is 60 and the remaining 70% (or 0.7) of it is 68.
.
Just multiply 0.3 times 60 and you get 18 points.
.
Next multiply 0.7 times 68 and you get 47.6 points.
.
Add these two answers together and you get a score of 65.6 as your final overall grade.
.
Hope that helps you understand the process.
