### Problem 23

In many universities students are given grade points for each credit unit according to the following scale:
A 4
points
B 3
points
C 2
points
$D \quad 1$ point
$F \quad 0$ point
For example, a grade of A in a 3 -unit course earns $4 \times 3=12$ grade points and a grade of $\mathrm{B}$ in a 5-unit course earns 3 $\times 5=15$ 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 the GPA of a student who earns a grade of A in $a$ units of course work, $\mathrm{B}$ in
$b$ units, $\mathrm{C}$ in $c$ units, $\mathrm{D}$ in $d$ units, and $\mathrm{F}$ in $f$ units.
b. Find the GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two 3 -unit courses, $\mathrm{B}$ in one 4 -unit course, and C in three 3-unit courses.
