To calculate a final grade, let’s assume a student has the following percentages for their assignments:

AssignmentWeight (%)Score (%)
Homework20%85%
Quizzes30%90%
Midterm Exam20%70%
Final Exam30%80%

Final Grade Calculation:

Final Grade = (Homework * 0.20) + (Quizzes * 0.30) + (Midterm Exam * 0.20) + (Final Exam * 0.30)

Final Grade = (85 * 0.20) + (90 * 0.30) + (70 * 0.20) + (80 * 0.30)

Final Grade = 17 + 27 + 14 + 24

Final Grade = 82% (B)
