    The first two questions are worth 1 point each for a correct answer, and the third question is worth 10 points. That makes the total possible points 12.

    If you answer only the first question correctly (1 point), and get the other two wrong (0 points), your score is calculated based on total points earned out of 12.

    The formula used to calculate the percentage score is:
    Score = (Points Earned / Total Points) × 100

    In this case:
    Score = (1 / 12) × 100 = 8.33%

    I know it might seem like the score should be 33.33% since you got 1 out of 3 questions right, but it's actually the point values that determine your final score, not just the number of correct answers.

    If you answer only the third question correctly (10 points), and get the other two wrong (0 points), your score again is calculated based on total points earned out of 12.
    Score = (10 / 12) × 100 = 83.33%

    If all questions were worth the same number of points, you'd see a more even distribution. For example, if the third question were also worth 1 point, or if the first two were worth 10 points each, the percentage would reflect that change accordingly.
