Here is a look at the general Grade Scale without pluses (+) or minuses (-). The numbers at the side are based on your precentage of correct answers.
For example:
You're taking a math test with 10 questions on it. Each question is worth one point. Which means you could get a total of ten points. Or 10 out of 10 ( 10/10) correct! Which would give you an A+ on the test. However, when you get your test back you find out you missed 2 of the ten questions. Meaning you got 8 out of 10 (8/10) correct. To figure out your percentage, you do some quick math. 8 divided by 10 is what? When you get the answer, multiple it by 100 to find the percentage. What grade did you get on the math test?

Let's practice applying our knowledge about the grade scale to some quick grades on a few assignments. Remember the number on the left is the amount of points you recieved from correct answers. The number on the left is the total points you could achieve on the assignment. Divide and Multiple by 100 to find the answer.
