Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Q.

Anil gets 85% marks in an examination. If his actual marks are 425, what are the total marks of the examination? In the same examination, Sunita gets 360 marks. Find her percentage.

Solution -

Let the total marks = x

so,

85% of total marks = 425

=> 85/100 × x = 425

=> 85 × x = 425 × 100

=> 85 × x = 42500

=> x = 42500/85

=> x = 500

Hence total marks = 500

Now,

Sunita got 360 out of 500 marks

=> 360/500

In percentage -

(360/500) × 100 %

=> 360×100/500 %

=> 360/5 %

=> 72 %

Hence she got 72% marks in examination.

hope it helps.
