Step 1Details given: c in 3h topology classB in 5h sociology courseB in 4h chemistry courseA in 2h speech writing coursegrade   A  =  4 points,   B  =  3 points,   C  =  2 point,   D  =  1 point and   F  = no point or zeroTo find average of all the four courses, we first need to get total points earned by Susan in all couses.Total points will be equal to the product of points earned to the number of hours given to the course.Step 2Which means, for topology, total points   ⇒  grade point  ×  hours  ⇒  2  ×  3 [grade   c  =  2 points]Topology total points   ⇒  6...  (  1  )Similarly for sociology   ⇒  3  ×  5  ⇒  15...  (  2  )  [  B  =  3     p  o  i  n  t  s  ]for chemistry   ⇒  3  ×  4    ⇒  12  −  (  9  )For speech writing   ⇒  4  ×  2  [  A  =  4     p  o  i  n  t  s  ]  ⇒  8  −  (  4  )By adding eq-n 1,2,3 and 4, we will get total points in semester:   6  +  15  +  12  +  8Total points   ⇒  41Now semester grade point average   ⇒      Total points    Total hours    ⇒      41          3      +      5      +      4      +      2        ⇒      41    14  So, semester grade point average   =  2.93
