I always use the base point method to avoid big calculation and therefore get the result under 1 minute:
First, without weighted average, the AVG is 8 : (first term+last term)/2 = (6+10)/2 = 8
Now let's take the AVG 8 as our base point:
Scores from base point 8 : 6 is -2 from base point, 7 is -1, 9 is +1 and 10 is +2
Finally, let's proceed to calculate the weighted average:
-2*(2/25)-1*(4/25)+1*(9/25)+2*(3/25) = -4/45-4/25+9/25+6/25=7/25=28/100 or 0.28
Add the result to the basepoint : 8+0.28= 8.28
Answer D)

Here is how i solved it:
(6*2) + (7*4) + (8*7) + (9*9) + (10*3) / (2 + 4 + 7 + 9 + 3)
207 / 25 = 8.28 ~ 8.3 hence answer is "D"
(6*2) + (7*4) + (8*7) + (9*9) + (10*3) / (2 + 4 + 7 + 9 + 3)
207 / 25 = 8.28 ~ 8.3 hence answer is "D"
