How to Calculate Marks Percentage
To find your marks percentage, add all obtained marks and all maximum marks, then apply the formula below.
Formula
Marks Percentage = (Total Obtained Marks ÷ Total Maximum Marks) × 100
Steps
- List each subject and its maximum marks and obtained marks.
- Add all obtained marks. This is your total obtained.
- Add all maximum marks. This is your total maximum.
- Divide total obtained by total maximum.
- Multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Example
Subject-wise: English 85/100, Math 90/100, Science 78/100, Social 88/100.
Total obtained = 85 + 90 + 78 + 88 = 341
Total maximum = 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 400
Percentage = (341 ÷ 400) × 100 = 85.25%
