Question

PLEASE HELP! 100 POINTS!

Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Etercsid

Step-by-step explanation:

One thing we can do is just multiply the averages by the percents in each class and compare from there.

To get from percentages to decimals, we can divide by 100.

For Mr. Tats:

Homework: 25 % -> 0.25

Participation: 10% -> 0.1

Test: 40% -> 0.4

Final: 0.25 -> 0.25

For Mrs. Etercsid:

Homework: 15% -> 0.15

Participation: 10% -> 0.1

Test: 60% -> 0.6

Final: 15% -> 0.15

We can then multiply the averages by the decimals for each teacher and add them up.

Mr. Tats:

0.25 * 81 + 0.1 * 57 + 0.4 * 93 + 0.25 * 87 = 84.9

Mrs. Etercsid:

0.15 * 81 + 0.1 * 57 + 0.6 * 93 + 0.15 * 87 = 86.7

You would get the higher grade with Mrs. Etercsid
