She earned a grade of B in her 2-hour topology course, a grade of D in her 5-hour government course, a grade of A in her 1-hour engineering course, and a grade of C in her 1-hour creative writing course. Assuming that A equals 4 points, B equals 3 points, C equals 2 points, D equals 1 point, and F is worth no points, determine Susan's grade-point average for the semester.

In this problem, the grades and the weights are:

  • In topology, a grade of 3 with a weight of 2.
  • In government, a grade of 1 with a weight of 5.
  • In engineering, a grade of 4 with a weight of 1.
  • In creative writing course, a grade of 2 with a weight of 1.
