Question

A student earned grades of​ B, B,​ A, C, and D. Those courses had these corresponding numbers of credit​ hours: 4,​ 5, 1,​ 5, 4. The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as​ follows: Aequals=​4, Bequals=​3, Cequals=​2, Dequals=​1, and Fequals=0. Compute the grade point average​ (GPA) and round the result to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the five courses with their corresponding credit hours be represented as shown;

FST 201 = 4

FST 203 = 5

FST 112 = 1

FST 219 = 5

FST 223 = 4

If a student earned grades of​ B, B,​ A, C, and D respectively in those courses with the following grading system  A =​4, B =​3, C =​2, D =​1, and F =0, before we can get the student GPA, we need to know the total credit point for the five courses.

Credit point for each course = Number of credit hour * point for each grade

FST 201 = 4 * 4 = 16points (A)

FST 203 = 5 * 4 = 20points (A)

FST 112 = 1 * 4  = 4points (A)

FST 219 = 5 * 4 = 20points (A)

FST 223 = 4 * 4 = 16points (A)

Total credit point = 16+20+4+20+16 = 76points

Total credit point gotten by the student is calculated as thus;

FST 201 = 4 * 3 = 12points (B)

FST 203 = 5 * 3 = 15points (B)

FST 112 = 1 * 4  = 4points (A)

FST 219 = 5 * 2 = 10points (C)

FST 223 = 4 * 1 = 4points (D)

Total credit point gotten by the student = 45points.

student's Grade Point Average​ (GPA) = Total credit point/Total credit point gotten by the student = 76/45 = 1.69 (to 2dp)
