One common system for computing a grade point average (GPA) assigns 4 points to an A, 3 points to a B, 2 points to a C, 1 point to a D, and 0 points to an F. What is the GPA of a student who gets an A in a 3-credit course, a B in each of three 2-credit courses, a C in a 3-credit course, and a D in a 4-credit course?
from above:
grade | weight (W) | credit hours(H) | W*H |
A | 4 | 3 | 12 |
B | 3 | 6 | 18 |
C | 2 | 3 | 6 |
D | 1 | 4 | 4 |
F | 0 | 0 | 0 |
total | 16 | 40 |
hence grade point average GPA =40/16 =2.5
