C+ | 79% | 79 - 79.99% |
C | 71% | 71 - 78.99% |

Translate values are used when calculating numeric averages from letter grades.
Letter Grade | Translate Value |
---|---|
A | 95 |
C | 75 |
D | 65 |
In the above example, a student received the following letter grades: A, C, and D. To calculate a numeric average, the translate values for the three letter grades would be used:
( 95 + 75 + 65 ) / 3 = 78.33%
