In a college, some courses contribute more towards an overall GPA than other courses. For example, a science class is worth 4 points; mathematics is worth 3 points; history is worth 2 points; and English is worth 3 points. The values of the grade letters are as follows, A= 4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. What is the GPA of a student who made a “C” in Trigonometry, a “B” in American History, an “A” in Botany, and a “B” in Microbiology?
A. 2.59
B. 2.86
C. 3.08
D. 3.33
E. 3.67

Asked: What is the GPA of a student who made a “C” in Trigonometry, a “B” in American History, an “A” in Botany, and a “B” in Microbiology?
“C” in Trigonometry - Value of grade letter = 2; Subject points = 3 (Mathematics)
“B” in American History - Value of grade letter = 3; Subject points = 2 (History)
“A” in Botany - Value of grade letter = 4; Subject points = 4 (Science)
“B” in Microbiology - Value of grade letter = 3; Subject points = 4 (Science)
GPA (Grade point average) = \(\frac{(2*3+3*2+4*4+3*4)}{(3+2+4+4)} = \frac{40}{13} = 3 \frac{1}{13} = 3.08\)
