1. What is Percentage Calculation?

Percentage calculation is a mathematical operation that expresses a number as a fraction of 100. It is commonly used to represent marks, scores, or any proportional value in relation to a maximum possible value.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the percentage formula:

Where:

• \( Marks \) — The obtained marks or score
• \( Max \) — The maximum possible marks or score

Explanation: The formula calculates what portion of the maximum marks was achieved and converts it to a percentage.

3. Importance of Percentage Calculation

Details: Percentage calculation is essential in academic grading, performance evaluation, statistical analysis, and many real-world applications where relative performance needs to be measured.

4. Using the Calculator

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

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I calculate percentage for multiple subjects?
A: Yes, first sum all obtained marks and maximum marks across subjects, then use those totals in the calculator.

Q2: What if my marks exceed the maximum?
A: The calculator will only accept marks that are less than or equal to the maximum marks entered.

Q3: How precise is the calculation?
A: The calculator shows results rounded to 2 decimal places for accuracy.

Q4: Can I use this for weighted grading?
A: For weighted systems, you'll need to calculate each component separately and then combine them according to their weights.

Q5: What's the difference between percentage and percentile?
A: Percentage is a fraction of maximum marks, while percentile indicates what percentage of scores are below yours in a distribution.
