1. What is Attendance Percentage?

Attendance percentage is a metric used to measure the rate of attendance in schools, workplaces, or other institutions. It represents the proportion of days attended out of total possible days, expressed as a percentage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the attendance percentage formula:

\[ \text{Attendance Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Present Days}}{\text{Total Days}} \right) \times 100 \]
