Explanation:

Step1: Convert weights to decimals

$18\% = 0.18$, $15\%=0.15$, $16\% = 0.16$, $8\%=0.08$, $7\% = 0.07$, $36\%=0.36$

Step2: Calculate weighted - grade products

For Test 1: $55\times0.18 = 9.9$
For Test 2: $55\times0.15 = 8.25$
For Test 3: $98\times0.16 = 15.68$
For Homework: $82\times0.08 = 6.56$
For Semester Project: $90\times0.07 = 6.3$
For Final Exam: $46\times0.36 = 16.56$

Step3: Sum up the weighted - grade products

$9.9 + 8.25+15.68 + 6.56+6.3+16.56=63.25$

Answer:

$63.25$
