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:


3.9 in a 5 credit Math course

2.4 in a 2 credit Music course

2.7 in a 4 credit Chemistry course

3.1 in a 6 credit Journalism course


What is the student's GPA for that term? Round to two decimal places.

Answer:

The student's GPA for that term is 3.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's GPA is found by a weighed average.

We sum the value of each grade multiplied by it's number of credits, and divide by the number of credits.

Then

3.9*5 + 2.4*2 + 2.7*4 + 3.1*6 = 53.7

5+2+4+6 = 17 total credits

53.7/17 = 3.16

The student's GPA for that term is 3.16.
