    How to calculate 28 out of 40 as a percentage

    To calculate 28 out of 40 as a percentage, you divide 28 by 40 and then multiply by 100:

    (28 ÷ 40) × 100 = 70.00%

    This calculation gives you your percentage score, which can then be converted to a letter grade based on your school or institution's grading scale.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Divide the points earned (28) by the total points possible (40):
      28 ÷ 40 = 0.7000
    2. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage:
      0.7000 × 100 = 70.00%
    3. Convert the percentage to a letter grade using the standard scale:
      70.00% = C-
