Question

15. A student X passes his examination with
515 marks, having scored 3% above the
minimum.If Y had obtained 710 marks, what%
would have been above the minimum?​

Answer 1

Answer:

42%

Explanation:

Let minimum marks = a

marks of X = 515

515= a +(a*3%)

515 = 1.03a

a = 500

Marks of Y = 710

marks above min.=710-500= 210

= 210/500

=0.42

= 42%

Answer = 42%
