Asking for a formula as to how to calculate a percentage is vague? That sounds like you did not read the question but I guess this is the wrong forum to pose a simple question on. Have a great day.

There are different types of percentage calculations. Providing additional information about the outcome you are trying to achieve will allow you to get a better response to solve your problem
Example
a = correct answers on a test
b = total number of points on a test
If a person scored 3 out of 4 points on the test
The formula:
(a/b)*100
would tell you the student scored 75% on the test
An alternate formula
((b-a)/b)* 100
would tell you that the student answered 25% of the questions incorrectly.
