You are in a class of 1000 students and you score 90/100...
Percentage is absolute... Your percentage will be 90% (simple arithmetic which I assume you know!) Here other's performance doesn't affect your percentage.
Percentile is relative.. Here it is based on other's performance.. If you have scored 500th rank here, so basically 499 people are ahead of you and 500 people are behind you. So your percentile will be
(Number of people behind you)*100/ (Total)
= 500*100/1000 = 50 %ile
If you had topped, then your percentile will be 100, since everyone is behind you!
Hope it helps. Plz mark me as brainliest.
