Formulas
Total Number:
This is the sum of marks in Hindi, English, Math’s, Science, and Social Science.
Example formula (in cell G2 for the first student): =C2+D2+E2+F2+G2
Percentage:
This is the total marks divided by the maximum possible marks, multiplied by 100.
Assuming each subject has a maximum of 100 marks, the total maximum marks are 500.
Example formula (in cell H2 for the first student): =(G2/500)*100
Example Calculation
For the first student, Jhon:
Marks: Hindi (46), English (26), Math’s (74), Science (56), Social Science (72)
Total Number: 46 + 26 + 74 + 56 + 72 = 274
Percentage: (274/500) * 100 = 54.80%
