If you scored 40 in a test where the total mark was 50. The percetnage you achieved would be your mark divided by the total possible ad timesed by a hundred:
(40/50) x 100 = 80%
So devide the number by the maximum to make it into a fraction, and then times by a hundred. This is why (for lower level mathematics) percentages are said to never exceed 100% as one could never get more than 50 out of 50 on the test:
(50/50) x 100 = 100%. 100% is the maximum.
