A fraction consists of two numbers and the fraction bar:
19/20
The number above the fraction bar is the numerator: 19
The number under the fraction bar is the denominator: 20
To get the fraction's value, divide the numerator by the denominator:
The value = 19 ÷ 20
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
1) Calculate the value of the fraction.
2) Multiply this number by 100.
3) Add the percent sign %
19/20 =
19 ÷ 20 =
0.95
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100
... and its value doesn't change.
n × 100/100 = n × 1 = n, any number n
0.95 =
0.95 × 100/100 =
(0.95 × 100)/100 =
95/100 =
95%
The symbols used: % percent, ÷ division, × multiplication, = the equal sign, / the fraction bar, ≈ approximately the same. Writing numbers: comma ',' - as a thousands separator, point '.' as a decimal mark.
If you're looking for a tool which can help you in setting a grading scale, this test grade calculator is a must. Also known as test score calculator or teacher grader, this tool quickly finds out the grade and percentage on the basis of the number of points and wrong (or correct) answers. Moreover, you can change the default grading scale and set your own one. Are you still wondering how to calculate test score? Scroll down to find out - or simply experiment with this grading scale calculator.
If this test grade calculator is not the tool you're exactly looking for, check out our other grading calculators like the grade calculator.

To calculate the percentile test score, all you need to do is divide the earned points by the total points possible. In other words, you're simply finding the percentage of good answers:
percentage score = #correct / #total
As #correct + #wrong = #total, we can write the equation also as:
percentage score = (#total - #wrong) / #total
Then, all you need to do is convert the percentage score into a letter grade. The default grading scale looks as in the table below:
If you don't like using the +/- grades, the scale may look like:
- An A is 90% to 100%
- A B is 80% to 89%
- A C is 70% to 79%
- A D is 60% to 69%
- and finally an F is 59% and below - and it's not a passing grade
Above you could find the standard grading system for US schools and universities. However, the grading may vary among schools, classes and teachers. Always check beforehand which system is used in your case.
Sometimes the border of passing score is not 60%, but e.g. 50 or 65%. What then? We've got you covered - you can change the ranges of grades! Read more about it in the last paragraph of this article: Advanced mode options.
Our test score calculator is a straightforward and intuitive tool!
-
Enter the number of questions/points/problems in the student's work (test, quiz, exam - anything). Assume you've prepared the test with 18 questions.
-
Type in the number the student got wrong. Instead - if you prefer - you can enter the number of gained points. Let's say our exemplary student failed to answer three questions.
-
Here we go! Teacher grader tool is showing the percentage and grade for that score. For our example, the student got a score of 83.33% from a test, which corresponds to B grade.
-
Underneath you'll find a full grading scale table. So to check the score for the next students, you can type in the number of questions they've got wrong - or just use this neat table.
That was a basic version of the calculations. But our teacher grader is a much more versatile and flexible tool!
You can choose more options to customize this test score calculator. Just hit the Advanced mode button below the tool, and two more options will appear:
-
Increment by box - here you can change the look of the table which you get as a result. The default value is 1, which means that the student can get an integer number of points. But sometimes it's possible to get, e.g. half-points - then you can use this box to declare the increment between next scores.
-
Percentage scale - in that set of boxes, you can change the grading scale from the default one. For example, assume that the test was really difficult and you'd like to change the scale so that getting 50% is already a passing grade (usually it's 60% or even 65%). Change the last box Grade D- ≥ value from default 60% to 50% to reach the goal. You can also change the other ranges if you want to.
And what if I don't need +/- grades? Well, then just ignore the signs :)
What grade is 19 correct out of 20 possible?
(19/20) x 100 = 95.00%
Then we find the 95.00% using the table below to find your grade: 97% to ∞% = A+ 93% to 96.99% = A 90% to 92.99% = A- 87% to 89.99% = B+ 83% to 86.99% = B 80% to 82.99% = B- 77% to 79.99% = C+ 73% to 76.99% = C 70% to 72.99% = C- 67% to 69.99% = D+ 63% to 66.99% = D 60% to 62.99% = D- 00% to 59.99% = F As you can see from the table above, your grade for getting 19 correct out of 20 possible is as follows:A

It's very common when learning about fractions to want to know how convert a fraction like 19/20 into a percentage. In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to turn any fraction into a percentage really easily. Let's take a look!

Before we get started in the fraction to percentage conversion, let's go over some very quick fraction basics. Remember that a numerator is the number above the fraction line, and the denominator is the number below the fraction line. We'll use this later in the tutorial.
When we are using percentages, what we are really saying is that the percentage is a fraction of 100. "Percent" means per hundred, and so 50% is the same as saying 50/100 or 5/10 in fraction form.
So, since our denominator in 19/20 is 20, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:
100 ÷ 20 = 5
Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:
19 x 5 / 20 x 5 = 95 / 100
Now we can see that our fraction is 95/100, which means that 19/20 as a percentage is 95%.
We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 19/20 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:
19/20 = 0.95
Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:
0.95 x 100 = 95%
And there you have it! Two different ways to convert 19/20 to a percentage. Both are pretty straightforward and easy to do, but I personally prefer the convert to decimal method as it takes less steps.
I've seen a lot of students get confused whenever a question comes up about converting a fraction to a percentage, but if you follow the steps laid out here it should be simple. That said, you may still need a calculator for more complicated fractions (and you can always use our calculator in the form below).
If you want to practice, grab yourself a pen, a pad, and a calculator and try to convert a few fractions to a percentage yourself.
Hopefully this tutorial has helped you to understand how to convert a fraction to a percentage. You can now go forth and convert fractions to percentages as much as your little heart desires!
