(226/273)*100 = 82.7

edit: a few easy methods for future reference..

Find percentage of something eg 85%
0.85 * n

Find percentage change:

( new value - old value ) * 100
--------------------
old value

Here's one way to remember it:

"number of questions right" / "total number of questions" (*100)

So - think of your problems as 226 questions right out of 273 questions is 226 / 273 = 0.828 or 82.8% right.

I guess not!

radikal_dj couldn't do it
Solari didn't round correctly
growse gave an inappropriate number of significant figures
 
82.783882783882783882783882783883%


82.78%, or 82.8% or 83% depending whether you want exact or a rounded up number.....it appears to be recurring too.
