Example
To calculate the final grade, use the following example:
| Assignment | Weight (%) | Score (%) | Weighted Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homework | 20% | 85% | 0.20 * 85 = 17 |
| Midterm Exam | 30% | 78% | 0.30 * 78 = 23.4 |
| Final Project | 25% | 92% | 0.25 * 92 = 23 |
| Final Exam | 25% | 88% | 0.25 * 88 = 22 |
Total Weighted Score = 17 + 23.4 + 23 + 22 = 85.4 (B)
