Explanation / Answer

This student took a total of 4+2+3+3=12 units. The weight for the first grade, A, is 4/12, for the second grade,D, 2/12, and so on. According to the points assigned to each grade, the weightedaverage is the sum of the points times weights. 4x(4/12)+1x(2/12)+3x(3/12)+2x(3/12)=(16+2+9+6)/12=2.75 The GPA is 2.75.
