Coursework counts for 30 percent of a grade and the final exam counts for 70 percent. A student averages 80 on coursework and scores 92 on the final. What is the course grade?

Correct answer to question 204 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 88.4

Method

Each portion contributes according to its weight. Coursework contributes 0.30 x 80 = 24 and the final contributes 0.70 x 92 = 64.4, giving a course grade of 88.4.
