Large discrepancy between CGPA and Major GPA

Here’s the issue with my CGPA.

I did a dual degree (Math Major and Physics Minor) + (Econ Major/Math Minor)

So classes that have no bearing on my Econ degree (Physics, Nuclear Engineering etc…) are counted towards my CGPA, which in turn is what grad schools look at when you’re applying. Makes little sense if you’re applying for a program related to Economics.
