Example:
A student get:
38.5 out of 40 in homework
24.3 out of 30 (81%) in mid term exam
23.4 out of 30 (78%) in final exam
His total score is 88.2 (38.5+24.3+23.4), which is a A- in the total grade score assignment table. However, his higher exam grade is 81%, which is a B in the exam grade score assignment table. Thus, his final grade is B.
