Definition: This calculator computes the percentage score based on marks obtained and maximum possible marks for a subject.
Purpose: It helps students and educators quickly determine performance percentages for academic subjects.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The marks obtained are divided by the maximum marks, then multiplied by 100 to convert to a percentage.
Details: Percentage scores help evaluate academic performance, compare results across different subjects, and determine grades.
Tips: Enter the marks obtained and maximum possible marks. Both values must be positive numbers, and marks cannot exceed maximum.
Q1: What if I get more marks than maximum?
A: The calculator will not compute if marks exceed maximum, as this is mathematically impossible.
Q2: How precise are the results?
A: Results are shown to two decimal places for accuracy.
Q3: Can I calculate percentage for multiple subjects?
A: This calculator is for single subjects. For multiple subjects, sum all marks and maximums first.
Q4: What if I have extra credit points?
A: Include them in both marks obtained and maximum marks if they're part of the grading system.
Q5: How does this differ from grade point average?
A: Percentage is a direct score calculation, while GPA typically converts percentages to a standardized scale.
