Percentage Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the overall percentage based on marks obtained in 5 subjects, each typically scored out of 100.
Purpose: It helps students and educators quickly determine academic performance across multiple subjects.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The sum of all subject marks is divided by the maximum possible score (500) and multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.
Details: Percentage scores provide a standardized way to evaluate and compare academic performance across different subjects and grading systems.
Tips: Enter marks for each subject (0-100). The calculator automatically sums them and computes the percentage.
Q1: What if my subjects have different maximum marks?
A: First convert each subject score to a percentage (score/max*100), then use those percentages in this calculator.
Q2: How is this different from average?
A: This calculates percentage of total possible marks (500), while average would divide by 5. Both give similar relative results.
Q3: Can I use this for more than 5 subjects?
A: No, this is specifically for 5 subjects. For more subjects, adjust the denominator (max possible marks) accordingly.
Q4: What if I have subjects with different weights?
A: This calculator assumes equal weighting. For weighted averages, you'll need a different calculation method.
Q5: How precise is the result?
A: Results are shown to 2 decimal places for accuracy, though most institutions round to whole numbers.
