How to use operations based on the number of user inputs?

Question

I am trying to make a simple calculator which tells students their average university mark based on their grades.

JSFiddle

I'm trying to get the formula to do this:

Step 1: (Mark * Credit Point)

Step 2: Add these totals together

Step 3: Get this total and divide it by the number of user inputs.

Having trouble with steps 2 and 3.
Right now when calculate is clicked, it just appends the single answer of each row one after the other. I want to add these values then divide it by the number of inputs.(As the amount of subjects will vary between users)

Any help is really appreciated.

HTML:

<div>

   <table class='table'>

      <tr>

         <th> Unit Code </th>

         <th> Mark </th>

         <th> Credit Point </th>

      </tr>

      <tr>

          <td> <input type="text"></td>

          <td> <input type="text" class='mark'> </td>

          <td> <input type="text" class='creditPoint'>  </td>

      </tr>

       <tr>

          <td> <input type="text"></td>

          <td> <input type="text" class='mark'> </td>

          <td> <input type="text" class='creditPoint'> </td>

       </tr>

        <tr>

          <td> <input type="text"></td>

          <td> <input type="text" class='mark'></td>

          <td> <input type="text" class='creditPoint'> </td>

        </tr>

   </table>

</div>

Javascript:

$('#wam').click(function() {

    $('.table tr').each(function() {

        var mark = $(this).find('input.mark').val();

        var cp = $(this).find('input.creditPoint').val();

        var total = ((mark * cp));

        // Find the total then divide by the number of entries



    $('body').append(total);





    });



});

You need to use a shared variable in the loop

$('#wam').click(function () {
    var total = 0,
        count = 0;
    $('input.mark').each(function () {
        var mark = this.value;
        var cp = $(this).parent().next().find('input.creditPoint').val();
        var t = mark * cp || 0;//if both the fields are not entered don't add them
        if (t) {
            //if the product is 0 then don't count the value
            count++;
        }
        total += t;
    });
    $('#total').text(total);
    $('#total2').text(count ? total / count : 0);//the ternary condition to prevent division by 0

});
