    Just create a function to find the total, and divide by that like:

    Private Function FindAverage(ByVal Vals as ArrayList)
    Dim RetVal as Decimal = 0.0
    For x = 0 to ubound(Vals.Count)
    RetVal += Vals(x)
    next
    FindAverage = Integer.Parse((RetVal/Vals.Count) * 100)
    End Function

    (This is just quick trhown together, not tested) BUt I hope it gets you on yoru way!
