2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where each grade is a numerical value between 0 and 100 points.

3. Importance of Grade Calculation

Details: Calculating grade averages helps track academic progress, identify areas needing improvement, and determine overall course performance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all five grades as numerical values (0-100). The calculator will compute the average and display the result rounded to two decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I have fewer than 5 grades?
A: This calculator is specifically designed for exactly 5 grades. For different numbers of grades, adjust the denominator in the formula accordingly.

Q2: What's considered a good average?
A: This depends on your grading scale. Typically, 90+ is excellent, 80-89 is good, 70-79 is average, and below 70 may indicate need for improvement.

Q3: Can I use decimal grades?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts and calculates with decimal values (e.g., 87.5).

Q4: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, with results rounded to two decimal places for readability.

Q5: Can I calculate weighted averages with this?
A: No, this calculates a simple average where all grades have equal weight. For weighted averages, you would need to adjust the formula.
