In a translation class, 40% of a student's grade comes from exams, 30% from written assignments, 20% from conversational practice, and 10% from interpretation. If a student's grades are 94 for exams, 88 for written assignments, 98 for conversational practice, and 85 for interpretation, what is the student's overall grade in the course?

NO OA and options too.

This is a weighted avg question.

So 94 x .40 = 37.6
88 x .30 = 26.4
98 x .20 = 19.6
85 x .10 = 8.5
Total = 92.1

The OA is 92.10...
