💯 How to Calculate Percentages
A percentage represents a portion of 100. Percentages are commonly used for discounts, grades, statistics, financial changes, and everyday comparisons.
Find a Percentage of a Number
Example: What Is 20% of 150?
Multiply 150 by 20.
150 × 20 = 3,000
Then divide by 100.
3,000 ÷ 100 = 30
Calculate Percentage Increase
Percentage increase measures how much a number grows relative to its original value.
Example: Increase From 80 to 100
100 − 80 = 20
20 ÷ 80 × 100 = 25%
The original value must be nonzero for the standard percentage-change formula.
📏 How to Convert Measurement Units
Unit conversion changes a measurement from one unit into an equivalent amount in another.
This is useful for cooking, construction, homework, travel, science, and everyday planning.
Basic Unit Conversion Formula
Example: Convert 5 Miles to Kilometers
One international mile equals 1.609344 kilometers.
5 × 1.609344 = 8.04672
Common Measurement Conversions
| Starting Measurement | Equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 inch | 2.54 centimeters |
| 1 foot | 12 inches |
| 1 mile | 1.609344 kilometers |
| 1 kilogram | Approximately 2.20462 pounds |
| 1 US gallon | Approximately 3.78541 liters |
| 1 pound | 16 ounces |
Make sure you’re using the correct measurement system. For example, US gallons differ from imperial gallons.
🌡️ Fahrenheit, Celsius & Kelvin Conversion
Temperature conversions allow you to compare measurements using different temperature scales.
Fahrenheit is commonly used in United States weather reports. Celsius is widely used internationally, while Kelvin is often used in science.
Fahrenheit to Celsius
Example: Convert 68°F to Celsius
68 − 32 = 36
36 × 5 ÷ 9 = 20
Celsius to Fahrenheit
Celsius to Kelvin
Common Temperature Examples
| Example | Fahrenheit | Celsius |
|---|---|---|
| Water freezing at standard pressure | 32°F | 0°C |
| Comfortable room temperature | 68°F | 20°C |
| Warm weather | 86°F | 30°C |
| Water boiling at standard pressure | 212°F | 100°C |
🎓 How to Calculate Your Class Grade
School grades often use percentages to measure performance on assignments, quizzes, tests, and projects.
The MyCruncher Grade Calculator includes Class Grade, Weighted Grade, and Final Exam Grade modes.
Points-Based Class Grade Formula
Example: Calculate an 86% Class Grade
| Assignment | Points Earned | Points Possible |
|---|---|---|
| Homework | 90 | 100 |
| Quiz | 45 | 50 |
| Test | 80 | 100 |
| Total | 215 | 250 |
215 ÷ 250 × 100 = 86%
What Is a Weighted Class Grade?
Some classes assign different percentages to homework, quizzes, and exams.
| Category | Grade | Weight | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homework | 90% | 30% | 27% |
| Quizzes | 85% | 20% | 17% |
| Tests | 80% | 50% | 40% |
| Total | — | 100% | 84% |
Check your syllabus to confirm which grading method your instructor uses.
📊 How to Calculate Semester and Cumulative GPA
GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It summarizes academic performance using numerical grade points.
The MyCruncher GPA Calculator supports Semester GPA, Cumulative GPA, and an illustrative Weighted High School GPA.
Semester GPA Formula
Example: Calculate Semester GPA
| Course | Grade Points | Credits | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | 4.0 | 3 | 12.0 |
| Math | 3.3 | 3 | 9.9 |
| Science | 3.0 | 4 | 12.0 |
| Total | — | 10 | 33.9 |
33.9 ÷ 10 = 3.39
How to Calculate Cumulative GPA
Cumulative GPA combines eligible coursework across multiple semesters.
Example: Improve Your Cumulative GPA
Current GPA: 3.25 over 45 credits.
New semester GPA: 3.80 over 15 credits.
(3.25 × 45 + 3.80 × 15) ÷ 60
203.25 ÷ 60 = 3.3875
Weighted vs. Unweighted GPA
An unweighted GPA commonly uses a 4.0 grade-point scale. Some schools award additional points for Honors, AP, or IB courses.
MyCruncher’s illustrative weighted system adds 0.5 points for Honors and 1.0 point for AP/IB courses. School policies may differ.
🎯 Final Exam Calculator — What Grade Do I Need?
Final exams can have a significant impact on a student’s overall course grade.
The MyCruncher Final Exam Calculator helps you determine the score needed on a final exam to reach your goal or predict your final course grade based on an expected exam score.
Mode 1 — What Do I Need on My Final?
Enter your current course grade, your desired final grade, and the percentage of your course grade determined by the final exam.
Use exam weight as a decimal. For example, a final exam worth 25% has a weight of 0.25.
Example: What Score Do I Need for an 88%?
- Current class grade: 85%
- Desired course grade: 88%
- Final exam weight: 25%
First, calculate your current coursework contribution:
85 × 0.75 = 63.75
Then calculate the remaining contribution needed:
88 − 63.75 = 24.25
Finally, divide by 0.25:
24.25 ÷ 0.25 = 97
Mode 2 — Predict My Final Grade
This mode estimates your overall course grade using the score you expect to receive on your final exam.
Example: Predict Your Final Course Grade
- Current course grade: 85%
- Expected final exam score: 90%
- Final exam weight: 25%
Current coursework contribution:
85 × 0.75 = 63.75
Final exam contribution:
90 × 0.25 = 22.50
Add both contributions:
63.75 + 22.50 = 86.25
What If You Need More Than 100%?
Sometimes your desired final course grade is mathematically unreachable through the remaining exam.
For example, with an 84% current grade, a final worth 25%, and a target of 90%, the required exam score would be 108%.
If the final exam is capped at 100%, the highest course grade available under those assumptions is 88%.
When Is the Final Exam Calculator Useful?
- Setting a realistic exam study goal
- Finding the minimum score needed to pass
- Estimating a final course percentage
- Exploring different possible exam scores
- Planning for high school or college finals
