Question 262907: A student receives his grade report from a local community college, but the GPA is smudged. He took the following classes: a 2 hour credit art, a 3 hour credit history, a 4 hour credit science course, a 3 hour credit mathematics course, and a 1 hour science lab. He received a “B” in the art class, an “A” in the history class, a “C” in the science class, a “B” in the mathematics class, and an “A” in the science lab. What was his GPA if the letter grades are based on a 4 point scale? (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0)
A. 2.7
B. 2.8
C. 3.0

---
art = 2 credit = B = 3 - - -- - > 3*2 = 6
history = 3 credit = A = 4 - - > 3*4 = 12
science = 4 credit = C = 2 - - > 4*2 = 8
math = 3 credit = B = 3 - - --> 3*3 = 9
science lab = 1 credit = A = 4 - -> 1*4 = 4
add the last column up to get total points of 39.
divide by total units taken, or 13
39/13 = 3.0

Art - 2*3 (hours*grade value)
History - 3*4
Science - 4*2
Math - 3*3
Lab - 1*4
GPA = total points/total hours = (6+12+8+9+4)/13 = 39/13 = 3.0
