Okay, so you assign the numbers to the letter grades and multiply times the number of credits for each class. In the first case, you have a "B" in a three unit class. B= 3.0, so you mutiply that times the credits 3*3 =9.
Do that for the remaining classes, and add up the point totals. Then divide by the number of hours to get the GPA.

Ooops the first one was only two credits, so it should be 6..

anonymous · Answer

(2*3)+(3*4)+(4*2)+(3*3)+(4*1)=
6+12+8+9+4=
39

13 units total, so the GPA is 39/13= 3.0
