I need your help??

In a college, some courses contribute more towards an overall GPA than other courses. For example, a science class is worth 4 points; mathematics is worth 3 points; history is worth 2 points; and English is worth 3 points. The values of the grade letters are as follows, A= 4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. What is the GPA of a student who made a "C" in Trigonometry, a "B" in American History, an "A" in Botany, and a "B" in Microbiology?


A. 2.59
B. 2.86
C. 3.08
D. 3.33
E. 3.67

Reminds me of college

Trig = 3
American H = 2
Botany = 4
Bio = 4

13 credit hours

Trig - C = 2 * 3 = 6
AH - B = 3 * 2 = 6
Botany - A = 4 * 4 = 16
Bio - B = 3 * 4 = 12

40 Total Grade Points/ 13 credit hours = 3.076 = 3.08 C
