AI Thread Summary
The final grade calculation discussed involves a course where the final exam accounts for 20% of the overall grade. The student had a 92% average before the final, which contributed 80% to the overall grade. After scoring 88% on the final, the calculations were performed as follows: 0.8 times 92 equals 73.6, and 0.2 times 88 equals 17.6, leading to a total of 91.2. Multiple participants confirmed that the calculation was correct. The final grade is indeed 91.2.

my instructor has everything in percentages not points. the final was 20% of the overall grade. up until the final (80% of the course) i had a 92%. and i received an 88% on the final exam. so what i did was 0.8*92=73.6 and then i did 0.2*88=17.6. i then added the two and i got 91.something. did i calculate my final grade right?
