A college student has finished 48 credit hours with a GPA of 2.875. To get into the program she wishes to enter, she must have a GPA of 3.0. How many additional credit hours of 4.0 work will raise her GPA to 3.0?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let c = no. of 4.0 credit hours required to have a 3.0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2848%282.875%29+%2B+4c%29%2F%28c%2B48%29\" = 3.0
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by(c+48), results:
\n" ); document.write( "48(2.875) + 4c = 3(c+48)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "138 + 4c = 3c + 144
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4c - 3c = 144 - 138
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "c = 6 credit hrs at 4.0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
