Question

In one common system for finding a​ grade-point average, or​ GPA,
A​ = 4, B​ = 3, C​ = 2, D​ = 1, F​ = 0.
The GPA is calculated by multiplying the number of credit hours for a course and the number assigned to each​ grade, and then adding these products. Then divide this sum by the total number of credit hours. Because each course grade is weighted according to the number of credits of the​ course, GPA is called a weighted mean. Calculate the GPA for this​ transcript:

Answer 1

Assign B = 3, C = 2. Compute weighted sum:
4·3 + 4·3 + 5·3 + 5·2 = 12 + 12 + 15 + 10 = 49.
Total credits = 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 18.
GPA = 49/18 ≈ 2.72 (about 2.722...).
