For example, a science class is worth 4 points; mathematics is worth 3 points; History is worth 2 points; and English is worth 3 points. The values of the grade letters are as follows, A= 4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. 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?

Trignometry \"C\" = 2 (category Mathematics worth 3 points)
\n" ); document.write( "American History \"B\" = 3 (category History worth 2 points)
\n" ); document.write( "Botany \"A\" = 4 (category Science worth 4 points)
\n" ); document.write( "Microbiology \"B\" = 3 (category Science worth 4 points)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1) Multiple grades with category points and add them all as shown below.
\n" ); document.write( "2*3+3*2+4*4+3*4 = 6+6+16+12 = 40\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) Add all the category points as shown below
\n" ); document.write( "3+2+4+4 = 13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now to get the GPA, divide the answer from step 1 with answer from step 2 as shown\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "GPA = 40/13 = 3.08\r
