- Grade Point Average 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 1 point F 0 point For example, a grade of A in a 3-unit course earns 43=12 grade points and a grade of B in a 5-unit course earns 35=15 grade points. A students 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, B in b units, C in c units, D in d units and F in f units. b Find the GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two 3-unit courses, B in one 4-unit courses and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forwardElectrical resistance The resistance of a wire varies directly as the length of the wire and inversely as the square of its diameter.

How many widgets would be demanded at a price of $20? c. How many widgets would be demanded at a price of $21? d. What is the difference in quantity demanded caused by the $1 increase in wholesale price? e. The company sets a price of $22.50. How many widgets will be demanded? f. How much will all of the widgets cost the store to purchase at a price of $22.50? g. If the store marks up the widgets that cost $22.50 at a rate of 50%, what is the retail price of each widget?arrow_forward6. Demand.
