translation class

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

This is often used in the probability questions as well and this is also used in the weighted average...

The OA is 92.10...


I am sure this is not a GMAT question. The person who posted this has done it from somewhere else...

nyways it serves some help so 92.10


Thanx...
