I feel like this question doesn't make sense but my teacher says that it does.. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's a little bit strange for a word problem.
You can say for sure he has a GPA of 3.2
He wants to have a GPA of 3.3
He took 20 credits to get the 3.2 GPA
-----------------------------
The strange part is that the GPA of 3.5
must only apply to the credits he gets
from now on, even though that number
doesn't mean very much to him
--------------------------------
Let = the number of credits he needs
from this point on.
Let = the sum of his new grades
I can say:
[ GPA( new credits only ) ] = [ sum of the new grades ] / [ number of credits ]
-------------------
Let = the sum of his grades at this point
So, at this point, I can say:
-----------------
Now I can say:
He needs 10 credits that have a GPA of 3.5
in order to have a 3.3 GPA
-------------------------
check:
------------------
------------------------
OK
