Question 5046: In a college, some courses contribute more towards an overall GPA than other courses. For example, a science class is worth 4 points; mathematics is worth 3 points; History is worth 2 points; and English is worth 3 points. The values of the grade letters are as follows, A= 4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. What is the GPA of a student who made a “C” in Trigonometry, a “B” in American History, an “A” in Botany, and a “B” in Microbiology?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! just find the average:
C = 2
B = 3
A = 4
B = 3
add the points for the letter grades:
2+3+4+3=12
then divide the number of classes (4) by the sum of the points:
12/4=3
the GPA of the student = 3.0

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Trignometry "C" = 2 (category Mathematics worth 3 points)
American History "B" = 3 (category History worth 2 points)
Botany "A" = 4 (category Science worth 4 points)
Microbiology "B" = 3 (category Science worth 4 points)
1) Multiple grades with category points and add them all as shown below.
2*3+3*2+4*4+3*4 = 6+6+16+12 = 40
2) Add all the category points as shown below
3+2+4+4 = 13
Now to get the GPA, divide the answer from step 1 with answer from step 2 as shown
GPA = 40/13 = 3.08
