How do I add two functions together and store in another function(a third function) in JavaScript?

Pls how do I add this two functions I declared and store into another function(a third function) so I will be able to call the addition of the result of both functions using the third function?

function myFunc() {

  var grade1 = document.getElementById("grade").value;

  var unit = 3;

  var tUnits = 18;

  switch (grade1) {
    case 'a':
      document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = (5 * unit / tUnits);
      break;
    case 'b':
      document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = (4 * unit / tUnits);
      break;
    default:
      document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = 'Please input a valid grade';
  }
  return grade1;
}


function myFunc2() {

  var grade2 = document.getElementById("grade2").value;

  var unit2 = 3

  var tUnits = 18

  switch (grade2) {
    case 'a':
      document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = (10 * unit2 / tUnits);
      break;
    case 'b':

    default:
      document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = 'Please input a valid grade';
  }
}

That is the code above!

Answer

Change your functions so they return the result instead of putting it in innerHTML. Then you can have another function that calls both of them and displays both results.

function myFunc() {
  var grade1 = document.getElementById("grade").value;
  var unit = 3;
  var tUnits = 18;

  switch (grade1) {
    case 'a':
      return (5 * unit / tUnits);
      break;
      
    case 'b':
      return (4 * unit / tUnits);
      break;
      
    default:
      return 'Please input a valid grade';
  }
}


function myFunc2() {
  var grade2 = document.getElementById("grade2").value;
  var unit2 = 3
  var tUnits = 18

  switch (grade2) {
    case 'a':
      return (10 * unit2 / tUnits);
      break;
      
    case 'b':
    default:
      return 'Please input a valid grade';
  }
}

function combinedFunc() {
  let class1 = myFunc();
  let class2 = myFunc2();
  document.getElementById("demo").innerText = `Class 1: ${class1}, Class 2: ${class2}`;
}
<select id="grade">
<option value="">Grade for Class 1</option>
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
</select>

<select id="grade2">
<option value="">Grade for Class 2</option>
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
</select>

<button type="button" onclick="combinedFunc()">Show Grades</button>
<p>
Grades:
<div id="demo"></div>
