How 9 out of 24 is calculated
(9 ÷ 24) × 100 = 37.5%Divide the points you earned by the points possible, then multiply by 100. The unrounded result is 37.5000%, which displays as 37.5%. Letter grades are always compared against the unrounded value, so a borderline score is never nudged into a higher band by early rounding. Scoring 15 out of 24 (62.50%) would move this up to a D-.
