C Correct answer
Explanation

Total marks scored = 470. Total maximum marks = 6 * 100 = 600. Percentage = (470 / 600) * 100 = 78.33%.

AI explanation

The formula for overall percentage is total marks obtained divided by total maximum marks, with the result multiplied by 100. The student scored 470 marks across 6 subjects, so the total maximum marks are 6 * 100, which equals 600. Dividing 470 by 600 gives 0.7833. Multiplying this by 100 results in a percentage score of 78.33%.
