Incorrect grade calculation in quiz

Incorrect grade calculation in quiz

We created a quiz in Moodle 2.7.2 which a number of students have completed. While going through the quiz results we saw that Moodle is displaying the percentage for one of the results incorrectly. The student got a grade of 11 out of 14 but Moodle displays 81% next to it. I'm not a maths teacher, but 11 out of 14 is 78.57%. How does Moodle get to 81%?

Incorrect percentage

Is there a course or quiz setting that we somehow messed up?

(The Grade Boundary for the "Congratulations. You have passed this assessment" feedback message is 80%)

Not sure on your grading setup but if they received 11.4 points, it would round to 11 but still equal 81%...

In any case, the best option is probably to change the option for the number of decimal places displayed.
