Okay, so I just received a graded essay back and landed myself a 16/20. I'm awful at math so I'm having a tough time working out what that is in terms of percentage. Could use some help here, folks!
To find the percentage, you divide the numerator (in this case, 16) by the denominator (20) and then multiply by 100.
So, it would be (16 ÷ 20) x 100 = 80%
Therefore, a grade of 16/20 is equivalent to a 80% grade. Remember that each professor or teacher may have a different grading scale, so it's a good idea to double-check what percentage grades correspond to letter grades in their syllabus.
