VBA - question on weighted grades

nevermind, that problem was fixed....but i have another question.

i am writing a program that takes 5 quizzes worth 25 points each, 2 exams worth 50 points each, and 1 final exam worth 100 point. the lowest quiz score will be dropped. the grade is based on the following weights: 40% on the final exam, 30% on the exams, and 30% on the four quizzes. (try using these numbers: Quizzes(20,18,20,20,19)Exams(48,45)Final(92))


i dont get how to calculate weighted grades. if someone could explain that to me it would be great.

thanks ^dan

Just multiply the weights by the scores for each section:

0.4(92)+0.3(48+45)+0.3(20+20+20+19)
=88.4 points out of a possible 100.
