1. Midterm Exam Grading

High School Teacher

Background

A teacher has finished grading a history midterm and needs to provide a percentage and letter grade for a student who scored 37 out of 45.

Problem

Manually calculating percentages for a large stack of exams is time-consuming and prone to rounding errors.

{"pointsEarned": 37, "totalPoints": 45, "decimalPlaces": 2}

Outcome

The tool calculates a score of 82.22%, assigns a 'B' grade, and shows that 8 points were lost.
