The fraction, decimal and missing points
184/200 = 23/25 = 0.92
Divide 184 earned points by 200 possible points, then multiply by 100 to get 92%. 200 − 184 = 16 points missed.
Or count by points: each point is worth 100 ÷ 200 = 0.5%, so 184 × 0.5 = 92%.
The letter above uses the common US plus/minus scale. Your class may set other cutoffs: open “Letter scale” above to choose another scale or enter your own. For the general method, see how to turn points into a percentage.
