    Solution

    To find the average score of the entire class, Calculate the total score of the first group (12 students with an average score of 80) = 12×80 = 960 Calculate the total score of the second group (18 students with an average score of 75) = 18×75 = 1350 Add the total scores of both groups = 960+1350 = 2310 Divide the total score by the total number of students (30) = 2310/30 = 77
