I am hoping somebody can help me with this problem:
I have to average my student’s grades for English Language Arts. I have to average them the following way….. they get 9 grades per six weeks……. 3 grades are Composition……3 grades are Spelling……. 3 grades are Grammar……… the average of the composition grade is 75% of the grade and the Spelling and the Grammar average combined are 25%....how can get the Excel cells to average this for me? (let’s say that the grades for one student are as follows ….Composition – 95, 85, 90 …………. Spelling – 85, 80, 85 ………. Grammar – 80, 85, 85.
Any help would be appreciated, the school year just started and I know that excel can probably do this for me faster than me doing it manually……HELP
