Formula

To calculate the percentage from a given grade point and maximum grade point:

\[ P = \left(\frac{G}{M}\right) \times 100 \]

What is a Grade Point?

A grade point is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance, typically on a scale from 0 to a maximum value (such as 4.0, 5.0, or 10.0). It is used to quantify the average performance of a student across different courses or subjects. The grade point is often used in conjunction with a grading scale, where each letter grade (A, B, C, etc.) corresponds to a specific grade point value. This system allows for a standardized way to compare academic performance across different institutions and educational systems.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Divide the grade point by the maximum grade point:

\[ \frac{G}{M} = \frac{3.5}{4.0} = 0.875 \]

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[ P = 0.875 \times 100 = 87.5\% \]

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Divide the grade point by the maximum grade point:

\[ \frac{G}{M} = \frac{8.0}{10.0} = 0.8 \]

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

\[ P = 0.8 \times 100 = 80\% \]
