- Grade Point Average In many universities students are given grade points for each credit unit according to the following scale: A4 points B3 points C2 points D1 points F0 points For example, a grade of A in a 3-unit earns 43=12 grade points and grade points and a grade of B in a 5-unit course earns 35=15 grade points. A student’s grade point average (GPA) for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)/8=3.375 . (a) Find a formula for a GPA of a student who earns a grade A in a units of course work, B in b units; C in c units, D in d units, and F in f units. (b) Find a GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two-units courses. B in one 4-unit course, and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forwardNavigation See the illustration.
