Use the numerical values assigned to grades to compute GPA. Round each GPA to the hundredths place. $$\begin{array}{llll}\mathrm{A}=4.0 & \mathrm{~B}+=3.5 & \mathrm{~B}=3.0 & \mathrm{C}+=2.5 \\ \mathrm{C}=2.0 & \mathrm{D}+=1.5 & \mathrm{D}=1.0 & \mathrm{~F}=0.0\end{array}$$ Compute the GPA for the following grades. Round to the nearest hundredth. $$\begin{array}{l|c|c}\hline & & \text { Number of } \\& & \text { Credit-Hours } \\\text { Course } & \text { Grade } & \text { (Weights) } \\ \hline \text { University Physics } & \mathrm{C}+ & 5 \\\hline \text { Calculus I } & \mathrm{A} & 4 \\\hline \text { Computer Programming } & \mathrm{D} & 3 \\\hline \text { Swimming } & \mathrm{A} & 1 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Key Concepts

Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculation

GPA calculation is the process of computing a student's overall academic performance by taking a weighted average of the numerical equivalents of their letter grades. This involves multiplying each grade's numerical value by the corresponding credit hours of each course, summing these products, and then dividing by the total number of credit hours taken.

Weighted Average

A weighted average assigns different weights to values based on their significance. In GPA calculations, credit hours serve as weights, meaning that courses with more credit hours have a larger impact on the final GPA than courses with fewer credit hours.

Letter Grade Conversion

Letter grade conversion is the method of assigning specific numerical values to academic grades (such as A, B+, etc.). This numerical scale allows for the quantitative analysis of academic performance by converting qualitative assessments into numbers that can be mathematically manipulated.

Rounding Procedures

Rounding procedures refer to the method of adjusting numerical results to a specified degree of precision. For GPA calculations, after computing the weighted average, the final value is rounded to the nearest hundredth so that the GPA is expressed with two decimal places.
