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 4​-credit ​courses, a C in a 2​-credit ​course, and a D in a 3​-credit ​course?

Answer:

2.75

Explanation:

We present the information in the table below.

`\left|\begin{array}c$Course Grade&$Grade Point(x)&$Course Credit(y)&$Product(xy)\\---&---&---&---\\A&4&3&12\\B&3&4&12\\B&3&4&12\\B&3&4&12\\C&2&2&4\\D&1&3&3\\---&---&---&---\\$Total&&20&55\end{array}\right|`

Therefore, the GPA of the student is:

`GPA=(55)/(20)\\\\ =2.75`
