Question 380967: 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 math 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)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0
The following chart shows you how the calculation is set up.
Class Hours Grade Grade Points Grade Point Hours
Art 2 B 3 6
History 3 A 4 12
Science 4 C 2 8
Mathematics 3 B 3 9
Science Lab 1 A 4 4

The total grade point hours are equal to 39
The total hours are equal to 13
The grade point average = 39/13 = 3
This equates to an overall average of B.
You multiply the grade points by the hours to get the grade point hours.
The total grade point hours divided by the total hours equals the grade point average.
