Logic to find total, average and percentage

Step by step descriptive logic to find total, average and percentage is -

1. Read marks of five subjects in some variables say n1, n2, n3, n4 and n5.
2. Apply the formula for finding sum i.e. total = n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5.
3. Apply the formula to find average using above total i.e. average = total / 5.
4. Apply the formula for finding percentage i.e. percentage = (average / 500) * 100.
5. Finally print values of all resultant variables total, average and percentage.

Program to find total, average and percentage

/**
 * C program to calculate total, average and percentage of five subjects
 */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    float n1, n2, n3, n4, n5; 
    float total, average, percentage;

    // Read marks of all five subjects
    printf("Enter marks of five subjects: \n");
    scanf("%f%f%f%f%f", &n1, &n2, &n3, &n4, &n5);

    // Calculate total, average and percentage one by one
    total = n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5;
    average = total / 5.0;
    percentage = (total / 500.0) * 100;

    // Print the result
    printf("Total marks = %.2f\n", total);
    printf("Average marks = %.2f\n", average);
    printf("Percentage = %.2f", percentage);

    return 0;
} 

Enter marks of five subjects: 95
76
85
90
89
Total marks = 435.00
Average marks = 87.00
Percentage = 87.00

Happy coding ;)
