Traditional Scale:
A = 91-100
B = 81-90
C = 71-80
D = 61-70
F = 60-below
Student A has 4 B's (83's) and 1 F (a zero); this average equals 66, for a D overall.
Balanced Scale:
A = 41-50
B = 31-40
C = 21-30
D = 11-20
F = 0-10
Student B has 4 B's (33's) and 1 F (a zero); this average equals 26, for a C overall.
