While the concept of percentage is introduced and made in practice from elementary school onwards but in the real world it is applicable on how to calculate percentage of marks of 10th class or how to calculate 12th percentage. And to overcome on knowing how to take percentage of marks you have to follow a straightforward process that involves just two simple steps and they are mentioned below:

Steps on Calculating the Percentage of Marks

Step 1: Divide the marks obtained by the total marks available. 

Step 2: Then multiply the result by 100

For example: If one of the students scores 80 marks out of a total of 100 marks in a single subject then the percentage will be calculated as follows: 

Percentage = (Marks obtained/Total marks available) x 100

Or 

Percentage = (80/100) x 100 = 80%

As a result, the studnets has scored 80% in that subject.

Q. What is the Percentage formula? 

Ans. The percentage formula is very simple and easy to calculate. Below we have provided the formula to calculate the marks to percentage. 

Percentage = (Actual value/ Total value) x 100. 

Let us understand this concept and formula with the help of an example that is given below:

Example: There is a rectangle which is divided into 10 parts and 2 parts of them are shaded. Then calculate the percentage of shaded parts of the rectangle? 

Total number of divisions in the rectangle = 10

Number of shaded parts = 2

By applying the formula of percentage that is,

Percentage = (Actual Value / Total Value) × 100

Or 

Percentage= (Number of shaded divisions/ Total number of rectangle) × 100

= (2/10) × 100

= 20%

Therefore, 20% of the rectangle has shaded portions.

Q. How to take out the percentage of marks of 6 subjects?

Ans. In case if the candidates have scored 84, 75, 81, 98, 78, and 94 marks in 6 subject. So to take out percentage of marks of 6 subjects you have to follow the given below steps: 

Percentage= (total sum of marks obtained/ total subject marks) x 100

Percentage= [(84+ 75+81+ 98+ 78+ 94) / 600] x 100

Then, after calculating the total sum of marks obtained that 84+ 75+81+ 98+ 78+ 94 we get 510, so further, 

Percentage= 510/600 x 100

Percentage= 0.85 x 100

Percentage= 85

Therefore, the marks to percentage of 6 subjects is 85%.
