1. What is a Percentage Calculator for Subjects?

Definition: This calculator computes the percentage score based on the sum of marks obtained and the total possible marks across subjects.

Purpose: It helps students and educators quickly determine percentage scores for exams, assignments, or overall academic performance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Sum of Marks — Total marks obtained across all subjects
• Total Marks — Maximum possible marks across all subjects

Explanation: The sum of obtained marks is divided by the total possible marks, then multiplied by 100 to convert to a percentage.

3. Importance of Percentage Calculation

Details: Percentage scores provide a standardized way to compare performance across different subjects or exams with varying total marks.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the sum of marks obtained and the total possible marks. Both values must be positive numbers, and sum of marks cannot exceed total marks.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use this for a single subject?
A: Yes, the calculator works for single subjects or multiple subjects combined.

Q2: What if my marks exceed the total marks?
A: The calculator will not compute a result if sum of marks exceeds total marks, as this is mathematically impossible.

Q3: How precise are the results?
A: Results are calculated to two decimal places for accuracy.

Q4: Can I calculate percentage for weighted marks?
A: No, this calculator assumes all subjects/marks have equal weight. For weighted calculations, you'd need to adjust the sum of marks accordingly.

Q5: Does this account for bonus marks?
A: No, bonus marks should be included in both the sum of marks and total marks if they're part of the official scoring.
