Sports vs Classroom subjects: You might have noticed in your school/university that those who conducts regular classes on subjects like Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc are called teachers. They are called so because they teach you the subjects from scratch. Whether you like it or not, you have to be taught in those subjects that you are enrolled in.

Percentage Vs Percentile

  Percentage: The percentage is the mathematical calculation we use in our day-to-day life. It is the ratio of a number presented out of 100. We usually denote percentage by the symbol “%”.  It indicates the proportionate of a total number. It is easy to use and to understand.   Example: For an instance, if a student scored 415 in five subjects out of 500 then his percentage will be 83%. Percentage values are from 0 to 100. It can be either in decimal or in ratios. The formula for finding the percentage is %age = Value Obtained / Total Value * 100   Percentile: The term Percentage is different from Percentile. Percentile is the calculation to determine how you have performed in comparison to others. It is calculated irrespective of the actual score. In short, it is the comparison between similar values. It can’t be written in the form of ratios or in decimals. Its values lie between 0 to 100 same as in percentage.   Example: For example, if your percentile is 50th, it d
