Your high school might have instructions on how to calculate your GPA on its web page, or else ask your guidance counselor. Some high schools include gym class and such, some don’t. Some high schools weigh a B+ more than a B-, others weigh all +/- as the same letter grade.

More generally:
B + B + B + A + A + A + A =
3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 25
25 / # of classes (7 in this example) = 25/7 = 3.57 GPA is 3.57 on a 4.0 scale.
