GPA is calculated with Subject Credits/hours and the grade points which you set on the grading scale with the overall scores.
Formulae for GPA Calculation
Earned Grade Points - (Grade on assessment's GPA Score x Subject Credit/Hours)
Total Credit/Hours - is the total credits/hours of all the subjects in the report card.
GPA Points = Total Credit Points / Total Credit/Hour
Explained with Example:
Step-1: Grading Scale Points
Here for an instance I'm using the below attached grading scale
Step-2: Enable "Credits/Hours" to Subjects
Here we're using 10 credits each.
Step-3: Capture scores to student
Now let's grade a student, we're using 2 Assessments common to both subjects as below:
SUBJECT - SPANISH
In the above attached screenshot student has overall score "60.02/100" for Grading Period - Semester 1 to subject Spanish
SUBJECT - ENGLISH
In the above student has secured "52/100" in Grading Period-Semester 1 to subject English
So the GPA calculated on Report Card is as below.

Grading Scale Used in Report Card Setting
Computing Grade Points
English
English
According to Grading Scale, Subjects which has overall score - 41 to 60 has GPA Point = 4
English Subject has Credits - 10
Therefore, English GPA Points = 4*10 = 40
Spanish
Spanish
According to Grading Scale, subjects which has overall score - 41 to 60 has GPA Point = 4.
Spanish Subject has Credits - 10
Therefore, Spanish GPA Points = 4*10 = 40
Total Credit Hours = (English -10 + Spanish -10)
= 20Total Grading Points
= (English - 40 + Spanish - 40)
= 80
GPA = (Total Grading Points / Total Grading Points )
= (80/20)
= 4
Same compute happens to the other grading period as well.
