Marks percentage formula
- 01Percentage = marks obtained ÷ total marks × 100
A percentage of marks is simply the share of the total you scored, out of 100. Divide the marks you got by the total marks, then multiply by 100 — so 850 out of 1100 is 850 ÷ 1100 × 100 = 77.27%.
It works for a single test or a whole result: add up all the marks you obtained and all the total marks, then apply the same formula. Most Pakistani boards set the pass mark at 33%, but check your own board or institution for the exact figure.
