  1. Your current standing: 3.0 GPA with 45 credits completed = 135 quality points.
  2. You add 3 courses (9 new credits): Mathematics B+ (3.3ร—3=9.9 QP), Physics A (4.0ร—3=12 QP), English B (3.0ร—3=9 QP).
  3. New totals: 135 + 9.9 + 12 + 9 = 165.9 quality points across 54 total credits.
  4. Projected GPA: 165.9 รท 54 = 3.07 โ†’ Letter grade B.
