How to Calculate Percentage of Marks?

To calculate the percentage of marks, follow these steps:

1. Determine the total marks: Find out the total marks possible for the exam or assignment. This is usually provided in the instructions or syllabus.
2. Find the obtained marks: Calculate the actual marks you received on the exam or assignment.
3. Use the formula: Use the following formula to calculate the percentage: Percentage=(Obtained Marks ÷ Total Marks)× 100
   For example, if you scored 85 out of 100 in a test, your percentage would be:

   Percentage= (85 ÷ 100) × 100 = 85%

4. Express as a percentage: Express the result as a percentage by multiplying by 100.

Calculating percentages of marks is a common practice in education to evaluate performance. It helps students and educators understand how well a student has performed in relation to the maximum possible score. This method is widely used for grading, comparing academic achievements, and assessing progress in various educational systems.
