Passing Marks Calculation
The passing marks for an exam out of 80 will depend on the specific grading policy set by the institution or teacher. However, commonly used passing percentages range from 35% to 50%. Here are the passing marks for various percentages:
- 35% Passing Mark:Passing Marks=0.35×80=28\text{Passing Marks} = 0.35 \times 80 = 28Passing Marks=0.35×80=28
- 40% Passing Mark:Passing Marks=0.40×80=32\text{Passing Marks} = 0.40 \times 80 = 32Passing Marks=0.40×80=32
- 50% Passing Mark:Passing Marks=0.50×80=40\text{Passing Marks} = 0.50 \times 80 = 40Passing Marks=0.50×80=40
If you need a specific passing mark based on a different percentage, you can use the formula:Passing Marks=(Percentage100)×80\text{Passing Marks} = \left(\frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\right) \times 80Passing Marks=(100Percentage​)×80
Feel free to specify the percentage if you need the calculation for a different value.
