Work out marks to percentage instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
The percentage is marks obtained divided by total marks, times one hundred, which also gives the equivalent score if the paper had been out of 100. Papers are rarely out of 100, so converting to a percentage is the only way to compare a 68/80 against a 41/50.
