In a city with three high schools, all the ninth graders took a Standardized Test, with these results:

High School	Mean score on test	Number of ninth graders
Glenwood	79	280
Central City	94	348
Lincoln High	66	151

The city's PR manager, who never took a college math class, claimed the mean score of all ninth graders in the city was 79.7 . Of course, that is incorrect. What is the mean score for all ninth graders in the city?

Round to one decimal place.

Mean of all ninth grader's scores =

To compute a student's Grade Point Average (GPA) for a term, the student's grades for each course are weighted by the number of credits for the course. Suppose a student had these grades:
3.7 in a 5 credit Math course
2.1 in a 2 credit Music course
3.0 in a 5 credit Chemistry course
3.0 in a 6 credit Journalism course
What is the student's GPA for that term? Round to two decimal places. Student's GPA =
