    Did you mean to repeat "A 6" twice? I'm assuming you didn't.
    In any case, it's a simple weighted average.

    (3*2 + 1*3 + 6*4)/10 is your answer

    You take the number of students multiplied by the grade in numerical value

    Therefore:

    C = 3*2=6
    B = 1*3=3
    A = 6*4=24

    Sum the values; which is 33

    Divide by the number of students which is 10

    Therefore it would look like this \frac{33}{10}

    The answer is 3.3
