Question

A student eamed grades of B, A A C, and D. Those courses had these corresponding numbers of credit hours: 5, 3, 4, 3, and 2. The grading system assignsquality points to letter grades as follows: A = 4 B=3. C=2, D=1; F= 0. Compute the grade point average (GPA).

Answer 1

Given that;

A student earned the following grades B, A, A, C, and D with the corresponding numbers of credit hours 5, 3, 4, 3, and 2.

Total credit hours is

`=5+3+4+3+2=17\text{ hours}`

To find the G.P.A of the student, the formula will be

`G.P.A=(5B+3A+4A+3C+2D)/(17)`

The grading assigns quality points as follows

`\begin{gathered} A=4 \\ B=3 \\ C=2 \\ D=1 \\ F=0 \end{gathered}`

Substituting the quality points for the variables into the formula above

`\begin{gathered} G.P.A=(5(3)+3(4)+4(4)+3(2)+2(1))/(17) \\ G.P.A=(15+12+16+6+2)/(17) \\ G.P.A=(51)/(17)=3 \end{gathered}`

The student's G.P.A is 3

Hence, the student makes the dean's list.
