Creating a Form with Calculations and Checkboxes

I am trying to figure out a formula for a fillable form, if it can even be done.  

If you click one box (Super.3) it would populate "SectionScore1" * 30% or .3

and if you click box (Other.4) it would pupulate "SectionScore1" * 40% or .4

I am trying to get both of these formulas in the same answer box. 

 

Otherwise, I am just going to take out the check boxes and have to answer box options.

Why not create 2 check boxes with the same name and 2 different export values?  In this example the export values would be .3 and .4.  This way, only one could be checked at a time.  If the check box name is Super.3, enter the following custom calculation script in the field:

if(this.getField("Super.3").value != "Off")

{event.value=this.getField("Subscore1").value * this.getField("Super.3").value}

else

{event.value=""}

Just a tip if you go with the export values you don't need script, you can just use built in calculation option 'product(x)'.

Thank you for your assistance! I am brand new to the calculating and javascript world and the search engine helped a ton with my other issues, but i didn't even know you add export values!
