Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A student scored 80% in Mathematics and 70% in Science. If both subjects are equally weighted, what is the student's average percentage?
  • Step 1: Identify the scores in each subject. The student scored 80% in Mathematics and 70% in Science.
  • Step 2: Add the two scores together. 80% + 70% = 150%.
  • Step 3: Since both subjects are equally weighted, divide the total score by the number of subjects. 150% / 2 = 75%.
  • Step 4: The average percentage of the student is 75%.
  • Average Calculation – The process of finding the mean of two or more values by summing them and dividing by the number of values.
  • Weighted Average – Understanding that if subjects are equally weighted, the average can be calculated by simple arithmetic mean.
