How this percentage is calculated

A score of 22 out of 25 means you earned 22 of the 25 available points. Dividing 22 by 25 gives 0.88, and multiplying by 100 gives 88%. Nothing else is involved, no curve, no weighting, no penalty for the 3 points you missed. That is why a percentage grade and a "points out of points possible" grade always agree.

The letter grade is a separate judgement layered on top. On the plain 10-point scale used by many schools, 88% is a B. On a plus/minus scale it is a B+ (3.3 grade points), because those scales slice the same percentage range into narrower bands. Both are correct, which one your transcript shows depends on your school's policy, not on the arithmetic.

Reading the numbers in context

A score out of 25 is only as informative as the number of points behind it. With 25 points available, each single point is worth about 4.0 percentage points, so a single point moves the percentage noticeably here. That is why a score of 22 out of 25 should be read together with the table above rather than in isolation: the distance to the next letter grade is a fixed number of points, and it is usually small.

If this is a single test and you want the effect on your course grade, you need the test's weight in the syllabus, use the weighted grade calculator. If you are counting up several scores into one average, the grade calculator does that, and the test grade calculator handles a one-off points-out-of-points conversion.
