Gretta · Answer 1

Final grade: 84.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply the score by the weight in the final note. THen, we add up all the weighted scored and get the final score.

15% x 80 = 12

15% x 78 = 11.7

15% x 92 = 13.8

15% x 84 = 12.6

20% x 84 = 16.8

20% x 88 = 17.6

Final grade: 84.50
