Explanation / Answer

An engineering student took five courses last semester. The credit hours and the grades for these courses are listed in Table 1. Table 2 provides the grade point associated with each letter grade (per each credit hour).

Table1: Credit Hours and GradesGrade point average = Total Grade point / total credit hours

SGPA = (3C + 4(B+) + 5A + 3(C-) + 3D) / (3+4+5+3+3)

SGPA = (3*2 + 4*3.3 + 5*4 + 3*2 + 3*1) / (18) = 2.678
