You mean like this:

(14 / (total correct)) * 100 = percentage   (round it to make an integer)
if (percentage < 100 && > 90) grade = "A"
if (percentage < 90 && > 80) grade = "B"
etc etc

And please note that the above is not in any programming language i'm aware
of.. just wrote it to give you an idea.
