Question 885156: What is the average for a student who received grades of 85, 76 and 82 on 3 tests and a 79 on the final examination in a certain course if the final examination counts three times as much as each of the 3 tests?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the total score would be equal to:
(1 * 85) + (1 * 76) + (1 * 82) + (3 * 79) = 480 / 6 = 80

the score on the final is equal to 3 * the score on each test.
this is the same as if the final were 3 different tests with the same score on each test.

you would get the same results.

85 + 76 + 82 + 79 + 79 + 79 = 480 / 6 = 80
