3. The sum of all weights in a weighted average calculation should ideally equal or .
4. A student's final grade is calculated based on the following components: Homework (20%), Quizzes (30%), Midterm Exam (25%), and Final Exam (25%). If the student scored 90% on Homework, 75% on Quizzes, 80% on the Midterm, and 88% on the Final, what is their weighted average final grade?
