3 <p>Calculators are reliable tools for solving simple mathematical problems and advanced calculations like trigonometry. Whether you’re cooking, tracking BMI, or planning a construction project, calculators make your life easy. In this topic, we are going to talk about weighted average calculators.</p>

4 <h2>What is a Weighted Average Calculator?</h2>

5 <p>A<a>weighted average</a><a>calculator</a>is a tool used to calculate the average of a<a>set</a>of<a>numbers</a>, where each number has a different level of importance or weight.</p>

6 <p>This type of calculator helps in giving more significance to certain values over others, making it useful in various fields like finance, academics, and<a>data</a>analysis.</p>

7 <h2>How to Use the Weighted Average Calculator?</h2>

8 <p>Given below is a step-by-step process on how to use the calculator:</p>

9 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Enter the values: Input the set of numbers you want to<a>average</a>into the given fields.</p>

10 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Enter the weights: Input the corresponding weights for each value in the set.</p>

11 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Click on calculate: Click on the calculate button to get the weighted average result.</p>

12 <p><strong>Step 4:</strong>View the result: The calculator will display the result instantly.</p>

13 <h2>How to Calculate the Weighted Average?</h2>

14 <p>To calculate the weighted average, you use the<a>formula</a>: Weighted Average = ${\sum (x_i \cdot w_i)}$ / ${\sum w_i}$ </p>

15 <p>where xi is each value in the set, and wi is the corresponding weight of each value.</p>

16 <p>You multiply each value by its weight,<a>sum</a>up all these products, and then divide by the sum of weights.</p>

17 <p>This gives the weighted average.</p>

28 <p>What is the weighted average of the grades 85, 90, and 95 with weights of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5, respectively?</p>

27 <p>What is the weighted average of the grades 85, 90, and 95 with weights of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5, respectively?</p>

29 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

28 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

30 <p>Use the formula:</p>

29 <p>Use the formula:</p>

31 <p>Weighted Average = {(85 × 0.2) + (90 × 0.3) + (95 × 0.5) / 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.5</p>

30 <p>Weighted Average = {(85 × 0.2) + (90 × 0.3) + (95 × 0.5) / 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.5</p>

32 <p>Weighted Average = (17 + 27 + 47.5) / 1 = 91.5</p>

31 <p>Weighted Average = (17 + 27 + 47.5) / 1 = 91.5</p>

33 <p>So, the weighted average is 91.5.</p>

32 <p>So, the weighted average is 91.5.</p>

34 <h3>Explanation</h3>

33 <h3>Explanation</h3>

35 <p>By multiplying each grade by its respective weight and summing these products, we obtain a total of 91.5 when divided by the sum of the weights which is 1.</p>

37 <p>A student scores 70, 80, and 90 in three subjects with respective weights of 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3. What is the weighted average score?</p>

39 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

38 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

40 <p>Use the formula: Weighted Average = (70 × 0.4) + (80 × 0.3) + (90 × 0.3) / (0.4 + 0.3 + 0.3) </p>

39 <p>Use the formula: Weighted Average = (70 × 0.4) + (80 × 0.3) + (90 × 0.3) / (0.4 + 0.3 + 0.3) </p>

41 <p>Weighted Average = (28 + 24 + 27) / 1 = 79 </p>

40 <p>Weighted Average = (28 + 24 + 27) / 1 = 79 </p>
