How 35 out of 55 is calculated

(35 ÷ 55) × 100 = 63.64%

Divide the points you earned by the points possible, then multiply by 100. The unrounded result is 63.6364%, which displays as 63.64%. Letter grades are always compared against the unrounded value, so a borderline score is never nudged into a higher band by early rounding. Scoring 37 out of 55 (67.27%) would move this up to a D+.
