1. What is a Grade Calculator?

Definition: This calculator computes the average grade from multiple input scores.

Purpose: It helps students determine their overall performance across multiple assessments or assignments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( G \) — Average grade (percentage)
• \( S_i \) — Individual grade scores (percentage)
• \( n \) — Number of grades being averaged

Explanation: The calculator sums all input grades and divides by the number of grades to find the average.

3. Importance of Grade Calculation

Details: Calculating your average grade helps track academic progress and identify areas needing improvement.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your grade percentages (0-100%) for each input field. The calculator will compute the average.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use this for weighted grades?
A: No, this calculator computes a simple average. For weighted grades, you would need to multiply each grade by its weight before averaging.

Q2: What if I have more than 3 grades to average?
A: You would need to modify the calculator to include additional input fields or calculate them separately and enter the totals.

Q3: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but remember it's only as accurate as the input grades you provide.

Q4: Can I use decimal grades?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal values (e.g., 89.5%) for more precise calculations.

Q5: Does this calculator round the final grade?
A: The calculator displays results with 2 decimal places, but you may round further according to your institution's policies.
