Depends on what s/he got on the other subjects.... but we will work with those four courses
You would find the average: sum them all up and divide by the number of courses

What is the GPA of a student who made a “C” in Trigonometry, a “B” in American History, an “A” in Botany, and a “B” in Microbiology?
((C)+(B)+(A)+(B))/4
(2 + 3 + 4 + 3)/4
(12)/4
3.0 GPA for those four courses
