Hello ,
Actually percentage is quite different from percentile and people often get confused with both of these and mistaken percentile as percentage.
Percentage is based on your marks simply ,
Percentage= (Your marks /Total marks )×100
But for percentile , R= P/100(n+1)where r is the rank order of your score and p is the percentile rank and n is the no of scores in distribution.
Thank you.
