Calculating Total Percentage Marks for Student P4

The question asks us to determine the total percentage marks obtained by student P4 based on the given table showing marks in 5 subjects. The maximum marks for each subject is 100.

Subjects Students P1 P2 P3 P4
S1 89 100 92 91
S2 62 52 72 37
S3 57 55 70 65
S4 76 85 76 58
S5 85 70 66 62

Step-by-Step Calculation of P4's Percentage Marks

To find the total percentage marks for student P4, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Identify the marks obtained by student P4 in each subject.
  2. Calculate the sum of the marks obtained by P4 in all subjects.
  3. Calculate the maximum possible total marks across all subjects.
  4. Use the formula for percentage to find the total percentage marks.

1. Marks Obtained by P4 in Each Subject:

Looking at the table, the marks for P4 in each subject are:

  • S1: 91
  • S2: 37
  • S3: 65
  • S4: 58
  • S5: 62

2. Total Marks Obtained by P4:

Now, we sum up the marks obtained by P4 in all 5 subjects:

\text{Total Marks for P4} = \text{Marks in S1} + \text{Marks in S2} + \text{Marks in S3} + \text{Marks in S4} + \text{Marks in S5}

\text{Total Marks for P4} = 91 + 37 + 65 + 58 + 62

\text{Total Marks for P4} = 313

3. Maximum Possible Total Marks:

Since the maximum marks for each subject is 100 and there are 5 subjects, the maximum possible total marks are:

\text{Maximum Total Marks} = \text{Maximum Marks per Subject} \times \text{Number of Subjects}

\text{Maximum Total Marks} = 100 \times 5

\text{Maximum Total Marks} = 500

4. Calculate the Total Percentage Marks for P4:

The formula to calculate the total percentage marks is:

\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Marks Obtained}}{\text{Maximum Total Marks}} \right) \times 100\%

Using the total marks obtained by P4 (313) and the maximum total marks (500):

\text{Percentage for P4} = \left( \frac{313}{500} \right) \times 100\%

\text{Percentage for P4} = 0.626 \times 100\%

\text{Percentage for P4} = 62.6\%

Therefore, the total percent marks of P4 is 62.6%.

Additional Information: Understanding Percentages

A percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", or the abbreviation "pct.". In the context of marks, the percentage represents the proportion of marks obtained out of the maximum possible marks, scaled to 100.

The general formula for calculating a percentage is:

\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100\%

In this problem:

  • The "Part" is the total marks obtained by the student P4 (313).
  • The "Whole" is the maximum possible total marks (500).

Calculating percentages is a common application in academics, finance, and statistics to compare quantities relative to a total.
