Weighted Average 

The method of determining the weighted average is as follows:

Multiply the rating of each subject by the number of units. Then divide the sum of the products by the total number of units. Use the table below for determining the weight equivalent of the Weighted Average (by interpolation):

Weighted Average Weight Equivalent
100
1.000
99
1.031
98
1.063
97
1.094

1.125
95
1.156

1.188
93
1.219
92
1.250

1.333

1.417

1.500

d.  Sample computation:  A student’s ratings and units for five subjects:

1695

Interpolation:
95

94.17
x
94
1.188

x = 1.183

  The total of the products is 1695. By dividing the sum by 18 units the result would be 94.17.  Using the table above and the interpolation the          weighted   average would be 1.183. The student can avail of full-scholarship.
