Slide 6: Subjects, Marks and Percentage Overview
Consider a scenario where Zahid is taking English Paper’s exam, he has two
paper of English to attempt to, P1, P2, . The total marks for P1 and P2 are 50,
and 60 respectively. Zahid obtained 30 marks in P1 out of total 50 marks,
and obtain 45 Marks in P2 out of total 60.
Calculate weighted average percentage to complete computation and
provide result.
Slide 7: Weighted Average Percentage for English
Data for the computation
total_marks_p1 = 50
total_marks_p2 = 60
obtained_marks_p1 = 30
obtained_marks_p2 = 45
Percentage weight for P1 =50
Percentage weight for P2 =50
