If 45% of a class averages 95% on a test, 50% of the class averages 78% on the test, and the remainder of the class averages 60% on the test, what is the overall class average? (Round final answer to the nearest percent). Options:
A) 83 %	B) 84 %	C) 85 %	D) 86 %	E) 87 %

Rationale: "this question is a weighted average question with a series of dependent variables . the remaining portion of the class represents 100 % - 45 % - 50 % = 5 % of the class converting the portions of the class population to decimal weights , we find : class average = 0.45 x 95 + 0.50 x 78 + 0.05 x 60 = 84.75 the class average ( rounded ) is 85 % final answer c ) 85 %"
Answer: C
