actually the terms chapter, mid-term and final were made up. I don't
know exactly what they were, just their weight.

It sounds like a bull**** way to grade a course, when the mid-term & final
each count the same as a chapter test.
But then.......
Yesterday I was talking to a guy w/ an engraving shop. I commented that
Little League must be good for business.
He replied, "Yes, it's very good. EVERYONE who plays gets a trophy...... not
like before when only 1st & 2nd place teams got them and the rest of us got,
"try harder next year."

I come to the experts on everything I can think of help. My
teacher-wife asked me if she was calculating this correctly. I didn't
think so. What's the answer and why/how?

Chapter tests count for 60% of the final grade. Mid-term and final
tests count for 40% of the final grade. Scores for chapter tests were
80, 50 and 69. Mid-term and final tests were 80 and 90. What is the
final grade. One of us says 73.8 and the other says 80.7

Thanks
