Answer:

Jay's average score is 70.5

The grades in a university are calculated as follows: 30% from class assignments, 35% from the final exam, and 35% from the field project.

Jay scores 75 out of 100 in class assignments, this means the average will be = $0.30\times75=22.5$

Jay scores 65 out of 100 in the final exam, average is = $0.35\times65=22.75$

Jay scores 72 out of 100 in the field project, average is = $0.35\times72=25.2$
