Answer :
Cora's GPA, considering the weighted AP classes and grades achieved, calculates to be 3.875.
To calculate Cora's GPA with her AP and regular classes, we need to account for the weight of her AP classes.
- Cora has five classes with three being AP and two regular.
- AP classes count twice as much as regular classes. Thus, AP classes will be counted as double credits.
- Calculate the points for each grade:
- AP English (A): 4 points, counted double = 4 × 2 = 8 points
- AP Government (A): 4 points, counted double = 4 × 2 = 8 points
- AP Algebra II (A): 4 points, counted double = 4 × 2 = 8 points
- Spanish (B): 3 points
- Physics (A): 4 points
- Total points = 8 + 8 + 8 + 3 + 4 = 31 points
- Total credit count = 6 (for AP) + 2 (for regular) = 8 credits
- Calculate GPA = Total points / Total credits = 31 / 8 = 3.875
Therefore, Cora's GPA is 3.875.
