To compute a student's Grade Point Average (GPA) for a term, the
student's grades for each course are weighted by the number of
credits for the course. Suppose a student had these grades:
3.8 in a 5 credit Math course
1.9 in a 3 credit Music course
2.8 in a 5 credit Chemistry course
3.4 in a 5 credit Journalism course
What is the student's GPA for that term? Round to two decimal
places.
Student's GPA =
Total credit = (5 + 3 + 5 + 5) = 18
Student's GPA = (3.8 * 5 + 1.9 * 3 + 2.8 * 5 + 3.4 * 5) / 18 = 3.09 (ans)
