How to calculate percentage? (Formula & Manual Calculation)
The most common formula to calculate percentage is:
Percentage = (Obtained Marks ÷ Total Marks) × 100
Single Subject Example:
If you get 90/100 marks in any subject then:
90 ÷ 100 × 100 = 90%
Multiple Subjects Example:
Suppose there are total 5 subjects, total marks 500 and obtained marks 420:
420 ÷ 500 × 100 = 84%
This is how the overall percentage is calculated.
