Program that Grades Using Functions

I do not think I am understanding the instructions given to me in the first place. The instructions look convoluted and messy to me. My teacher makes no sense and allows no questions.

-Write a program that prompts a user for their grades, finds the average and prints out a letter grade.
-The program calls a function called GetGrades that will read in grades from the keyboard, the number of grades should also be input by the user.
-GetGrades will find the sum of those grades and pass the sum and number of grades to another function called FindAverage.
-FindAverage will find the average of the grades and return this average to GetGrades.
-GetGrades will return this average to main.
-The main function will then determine the letter grade of that average based on a 10-point scale and print out this grade.

-Main should determain the letter grade of an average based on a 10-point scale and print out this grade.

90–100 A
80–89 B
70–79 C
60–69 D
0–59 F

-GetGrades function should get number of grades, read the grades entered, find the sum of those grades and pass the sum and number to FindAverage.
-FindAverage will get the average of the grades and return the average to GetGrades.
-GetGrades will return this average to main.

}
The instructions seem pretty clear and, based on your program, you seem to know what you're doing. Was there a specific problem or error you are receiving?
