1. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: An instructor uses a weighted average to calculate student grades at the end of the year. The weight assigned to each item is:

Homework        30%

Quiz 1               15%

Quiz 2               15%

Final Exam       40%

Total                100%

Mike wants to write a computer program to calculate his final overall average. He knows what percent he earned on each of the four factors that go into calculating his final overall average and can provide those percentages as input. For example, he scored 87.5% on Quiz 1 and when prompted will enter 87.5. Design a solution that will allow Mike, or any other student in the class, to enter the percent scored on each of the 4 factors and return the student's overall average. Express the overall average as a percent (eg. 87.5%).

Answer 1

Pseudo-code

   START

       DECLARE VARIABLE ScoreHomework
       DECLARE VARIABLE ScoreQuiz1
       DECLARE VARIABLE ScoreQuiz2
       DECLARE VARIABLE ScoreFinalExam
       DECLARE VARIABLE ScoreTotal

       Input ScoreHomework
       Input ScoreQuiz1
       Input ScoreQuiz2
       Input ScoreFinalExam

       ScoreHomework = (ScoreHomework/100) * 30
       ScoreQuiz1 = (ScoreQuiz1/100) * 15
       ScoreQuiz2 = (ScoreQuiz2/100) * 15
       ScoreFinalExam = (ScoreFinalExam/100) * 40

       ScoreTotal = ScoreHomework + ScoreQuiz1 + ScoreQuiz2 + ScoreFinalExam

       PRINT "Overall Score: " + ScoreTotal
