In a test a student scored 51 marks out of 80. Express his mark as a percentage to the nearest whole percent
To express the student's mark as a percentage, you can use the formula:
Percentage = (Marks scored / Total marks) * 100
In this case, the student scored 51 marks out of 80.
Substituting the values into the formula:
Percentage = (51 / 80) * 100
Calculating this expression:
Percentage = 0.6375 * 100
This gives us the result:
Percentage = 63.75
To round the percentage to the nearest whole percent, we round 63.75 to 64.
Therefore, the student's mark is approximately 64%.
