To calculate the weighted average of L and M, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Weighted Average} = (L \times \text{Weight of L}) + (M \times \text{Weight of M}) \]
Given:
- \( L = 6 \) (weighted at 25% or 0.25)
- \( M = 14 \) (weighted at 75% or 0.75)
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Weighted Average} = (6 \times 0.25) + (14 \times 0.75) \]
Calculating each term:
\[ 6 \times 0.25 = 1.5 \] \[ 14 \times 0.75 = 10.5 \]
Now, add the two results:
\[ \text{Weighted Average} = 1.5 + 10.5 = 12 \]
Therefore, the weighted average is 12.
