Examples

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.
How to Use
Enter 37 in the Points Earned field and 45 in the Total Points field, then set decimal places to 2.
Example Config
{"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.

2. Professional Certification Practice

Software Developer
Background
A developer is taking a practice cloud architect exam consisting of 80 questions to prepare for the real certification.
Problem
The developer needs to know if their score of 52 correct answers meets the 60% passing requirement.
How to Use
Input 52 as Points Earned and 80 as Total Points.
Example Config
{"pointsEarned": 52, "totalPoints": 80, "decimalPlaces": 0}
Outcome
The calculator returns a 65% score, confirming the developer passed the 60% threshold with a 'D' grade and 28 points lost.
