How do you calculate GPA on a 4.0 scale?

Multiply each course's grade point by its credit hours, sum the results, then divide by the total credits attempted.

What’s the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA caps at 4.0 for all classes, while weighted GPA assigns higher point values (often up to 5.0) for honors, AP, or IB courses.

Yes. Rearranging the weighted-average formula lets you solve for the unknown final-exam grade required to reach a target semester GPA.
