Assuming that A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, and D=1.0 in the GPA system, we can find the student's GPA. To find GPA, take the average of the points. So, if you have 18 As, 18%284%29=72; 22 Bs, 22%283%29=66; 8 Cs, 8%282%29=16 and 4 Ds, 4%281%29=4. If we add this all up and divide by the number of grades the student earned, we should have our answer. 72+66+16+4=158. The 18 As + 22 Bs + 8 Cs + 4 Ds = 52 grades. If we divide 158 by 52, we get a 3.03 GPA.
