1. What is a Final Grade Calculator with Percentages?

Definition: This calculator computes your final grade by combining different graded categories with their respective weights.

Purpose: It helps students determine their overall course grade based on performance in different weighted components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Category % — Your percentage score in each grading category (0-100)
• Weight — The decimal weight of each category (0-1, must sum to 1 for complete calculation)

Explanation: Each category percentage is multiplied by its weight, and the results are summed to produce the final grade.

3. Importance of Grade Calculation

Details: Accurate grade calculation helps students track their academic progress and identify areas needing improvement.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your percentage score for each category and its corresponding weight (as a decimal between 0 and 1). You can calculate with any number of category pairs.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How many categories can I calculate with?
A: The calculator currently supports two category-weight pairs, but you can run multiple calculations for more categories.

Q2: What if my weights don't add up to 1?
A: The calculator will still compute the result, but for accurate final grades, your weights should sum to 1 (100%).

Q3: Can I use this for different grading systems?
A: Yes, as long as your inputs are percentages and weights are decimals, it works for any weighted grading system.

Q4: How precise are the calculations?
A: Results are calculated to two decimal places for accuracy.

Q5: What if I get "Invalid input"?
A: This means one of your values is outside the acceptable range (0-100% for grades, 0-1 for weights).
