Step-by-Step Solution

To calculate Gabriel's final weighted average, we'll use the formula for a weighted average:

Weighted Average=(Test 1 Grade×Weight 1)+(Exam Grade×Weight 2)+(Test 2 Grade×Weight 3)+(Project Grade×Weight 4) \text{Weighted Average} = (\text{Test 1 Grade} \times \text{Weight 1}) + (\text{Exam Grade} \times \text{Weight 2}) + (\text{Test 2 Grade} \times \text{Weight 3}) + (\text{Project Grade} \times \text{Weight 4})

Next, calculate the contribution of each component:

  • Test 1 Contribution: 84×0.30=25.284 \times 0.30 = 25.2
  • Exam Contribution: 73×0.15=10.9573 \times 0.15 = 10.95
  • Test 2 Contribution: 87×0.35=30.4587 \times 0.35 = 30.45
  • Project Contribution: 92×0.20=18.492 \times 0.20 = 18.4

Now, add all these contributions to find the final weighted average:

Weighted Average=25.2+10.95+30.45+18.4=85 \text{Weighted Average} = 25.2 + 10.95 + 30.45 + 18.4 = 85

Therefore, Gabriel's final weighted average is 85\boxed{85}.
