Question

Amy's semester grade is determined by a project (60%) and an assignment (40%). If she scores 80 on the project and 96 on the assignment, what is her overall grade?

a) 88.8
b) 90.4
c) 92.0
d) 94.6

Answer 1

Amy's overall grade is 86.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Amy's overall grade, we need to find the weighted average of her project score and assignment score. The project is weighted at 60% and the assignment is weighted at 40%. To do this, we multiply each score by its weight and then add them together.

(80 * 0.6) + (96 * 0.4) = 48 + 38.4 = 86.4
