1. What is Percentage Calculation?

Percentage calculation converts marks obtained into a percentage of total possible marks. It standardizes scores for comparison across different tests or exams with varying maximum marks.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage formula:

Where:

• Marks obtained — Actual score achieved
• Total marks — Maximum possible score

Explanation: The formula calculates what portion of the total marks was achieved and expresses it as a percentage (out of 100).

3. Importance of Percentage Calculation

Details: Percentage scores allow fair comparison of performance across different tests, exams, or assessments that may have different maximum marks. They are widely used in academic grading systems.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter marks obtained (must be ≤ total marks) and total marks (must be > 0). The calculator will compute the percentage score.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I get more marks than the total?
A: The calculator will show an error as marks obtained cannot exceed total marks. Please verify your inputs.

Q2: How many decimal places does it show?
A: The result is rounded to 2 decimal places for precision.

Q3: Can I calculate percentage for multiple subjects?
A: This calculator is for single score conversion. For multiple subjects, sum all marks obtained and total marks first.

Q4: What's the difference between percentage and percentile?
A: Percentage is your score out of total marks. Percentile shows what percentage of test-takers scored below you.

Q5: Can I use this for grading systems?
A: Yes, but grading scales vary by institution. Check your specific grading policy for percentage cutoffs.
