Grade point average (GPA) is an example of weighted average. The weight is the number of credits of the class. On a 4.0 scale, an A is worth 4 points; a B is worth 3 points; a C is worth 2 points; and a D is worth 1 point. Calculate Dan's last quarter GPA using the grades listed below. Round to 2 decimal places.
History: 3 credits C
Math: 5 credits B
English: 4 credits A
Chemistry: 4 credits C
Golf: 1 credit A

The GPA will be the sum of each course's number of credits times the points achieved for that course all divided by the total number of credits.
So in this case we have:
(3*2 + 5*3 + 4*4 + 4*2 + 1*4)/(3 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 1) = 49/17 = 2.882352941
So in this case we have:
(3*2 + 5*3 + 4*4 + 4*2 + 1*4)/(3 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 1) = 49/17 = 2.882352941
