If Exam 1 is worth 25% of the total grade, Exam 2 is worth 25% and Exam 3 is worth 50%, what is Dave’s final grade?
If Exam 1 is worth 25% of the total grade, Exam 2 is worth 25% and Exam 3 is worth 50%, what is Dave’s final grade?
Final Grade = Exam1 * 0.25 + Exam 2 * 0.25 + Exam3 * 0.50 =
96*0.25 + 70*0.25 + 85*0.5 =
24 + 17.5 + 42.5 = 84
Final Grade = Exam1 * 0.25 + Exam 2 * 0.25 + Exam3 * 0.50 =
96*0.25 + 70*0.25 + 85*0.5 =
24 + 17.5 + 42.5 = 84

A car has gas mileage of 46 miles per gallon. Assume that gas costs $3.90 per gallon. What would be the total cost of gas if the car traveled 1,150 miles?
A car has gas mileage of 46 miles per gallon. Assume that gas costs $3.90 per gallon. What would be the total cost of gas if the car traveled 1,150 miles?
First find out how many gallons of gas the car consumed while traveling 1150 miles. This can be found out like so:
1150 miles x gallons/46 miles = 25 gallons
Multiplying 25 by $3.90 yields $97.50.

Pure water would be 0% solution and pure solution would be 100%
V1P1 + V2P2 = VfPf
Let x = amount of water to add
x(0) + 2(0.80) = (x + 2)(0.50) which when solved gives x = 1.2 L
