A weighted average 2008-11-27
From Kenneth:
I am interested in determining the answers to the following question by using some type of weighted average:

An investor has $30,000 to invest at simple interest in two accounts. One account earns 2% and the second earns 5%. How much must he invest in each account if his total return is 4% or $1,200?

Averaging grades 2002-10-24
From Richard:
I'm using a grading program for the first time this year. (ok, that's not a question) I require my students to record their grades in a Scorekeeper when they get them back. I'd like to know if my students can keep up with averaging their grades just as the grading programs automatically averages them when I put them in the spreadsheet.
