A GPA is a weighted average.
Sum the product of hours and grade(point value), then divide by the total number of hours.
.
.
.
Hours*Grade=Hours*Point Value
2*B=2%2A3=6
3*A=3%2A4=12
4*C=4%2A2=8
3*B=3%2A3=9
1*A=1%2A4=4
.
.
.
Sum of Hours*Point Value=6%2B12%2B8%2B9%2B4=39
Sum of Hours=2%2B3%2B4%2B3%2B1=13
+GPA=39%2F13=3

He has a 3.0 GPA.
