Hey everyone. I got a score of 26 out of 40 on one of my assignments. What percentage is that? I'm just trying to work out what my overall grade might be. Any help is appreciated!
To calculate the percentage of your score, divide your score by the total possible score, and then multiply by 100. In your case, your score was 26 and the total possible score was 40.
Here's how you'd do the calculation:
26 (your score) / 40 (total possible score) = 0.65
0.65 x 100 = 65%
So, a score of 26 out of 40 translates to a percentage grade of 65%.
Keep in mind that every class may have a different grading scale, so you should check with your instructor or syllabus to see how scores translate into letter grades.
