Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100 and is a way of expressing a part or proportion of a whole, where the whole is considered to be 100%.

For example, if a student gets 88 out of 100 in an exam, we can express this as a percentage by dividing 88 by 100 and multiplying by 100, which gives us 88. This means that the student scored 88% in the exam.
