sapiens, i think you forgot the 'very satisfied' people, wouldn't you have ((100*4) + (113*3) + (57*2) + (30*1))/200 ?

Bascially gothmund, you're just adding up all the responses, and then dividing by the total number of responses. The multiplication steps in the above just speed it up. If you're tallying these in Excel, then it has an 'average' function that will calculate it for you.
