## Calculate Jane's Weighted Grade

### Instructions:
1. **Determine the weighted grade by calculating the weighted average of her different grade components.**
2. **Round the result to the nearest tenth.**

### Breakdown of Grade Components:

| Component | Portion of Grade | Jane's Averages |
|-----------|------------------|-----------------|
| Homework  | 15%              | 85              |
| Labs      | 10%              | 93              |
| Quiz      | 25%              | 71              |
| Test      | 50%              | 86              |

### Calculation Method:
1. Convert the percentage weights to decimal form.
2. Multiply each component's average by its respective weight in decimal form.
3. Sum these products to get the final weighted grade.

### Formula:
\[ \text{Weighted Grade} = (0.15 \times 85) + (0.10 \times 93) + (0.25 \times 71) + (0.50 \times 86) \]

### Calculation Steps:
1. Homework: \( 0.15 \times 85 = 12.75 \)
2. Labs: \( 0.10 \times 93 = 9.3 \)
3. Quiz: \( 0.25 \times 71 = 17.75 \)
4. Test: \( 0.50 \times 86 = 43 \)

\[ \text{Total Weighted Grade} = 12.75 + 9.3 + 17.75 + 43 \]

### Final Result:
\[ \text{Total Weighted Grade} = 82.8 \]

**Jane's weighted grade is 82.8.**
