---------------------
75 correct = 150 pts
18 correct = -18 pts
7 N/A = -14 pts
--------------------------
Your total points = 118
-----
Total possible pts = 100 correct = 200 pts
----
Your percentage score = 118/200 = 59%

No need to be confused!
If you'd gotten all 100 correct, then your score would be: 100 * 2 or 200, or 200/200, or 1, or 100%.
So, your score is 118 OUT of 200, or 59%.
