How to turn test scores into a percentage

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Divide the marks earned by the total possible marks and multiply by 100: 42 out of 60 is 42 ÷ 60 × 100 = 70%. For several tests with the same weight, add all marks and divide by all totals. If tests count differently, multiply each percentage by its weight, add them and divide by the total weight.
