Example
If you scored 85 out of 100 in Maths and 78 out of 100 in Science:
Total obtained = 85 + 78 = 163
Total maximum = 100 + 100 = 200
Percentage = (163 ÷ 200) × 100 = 81.5%
Frequently Asked Questions
How to calculate percentage from marks?
Divide total marks obtained by total maximum marks, then multiply by 100. Formula: Percentage = (Marks Obtained ÷ Total Marks) × 100. For example, if you scored 420 out of 500, your percentage is (420 ÷ 500) × 100 = 84%.
How to calculate overall percentage for multiple subjects?
Add up all marks obtained across subjects, add up all maximum marks, then apply the formula: (Total Obtained ÷ Total Maximum) × 100. This gives your aggregate percentage.
