We were told that Ben earned 625.5 points out of 700 on an essay. Expressing his score in the essay in terms of percentage, it becomes
625.5/700 x 100 = 89.29%
Also, he scored 65 out of 70 on an assignment. Expressing his score in the assignment in terms of percentage, it becomes
65/70 x 100 = 92.86%
We would find the average between the two percentages
Average = sum of percentages/number of percentages
Average = (89.29 + 92.86)/2
Average = 91.075
Average is approximately 91%
Since in order to earn an A in the class, he needed to average a 91 on these two
assignments and he got an average of 91%, then we can conclude that he got an A
