What does an 87 translate to in terms of GPA?

Hey there! I received an 87 on a project, and I'm trying to figure out what that would be in GPA terms. Can anyone help me understand how to make this conversion?

Hello! Converting a percentage grade to a GPA can vary slightly depending on the specific grading scale your school uses. However, I can provide a general guideline based on a standard 4.0 GPA scale:

- 90-100% (A) typically corresponds to a 4.0

- 80-89% (B) usually corresponds to a 3.0

- 70-79% (C) typically corresponds to a 2.0

- 60-69% (D) usually corresponds to a 1.0

- Below 60% (F) usually corresponds to a 0.0

In your case, with an 87% on your project, you'd generally fall in the "B" range, which would approximately convert to a 3.0 GPA. However, be sure to check your school's specific grading policies, as they may have a more precise or unique conversion scale.
