Question

17. A student is required to score 35% marks to pass in the examination. Mona scored
249 marks and failed by 31 marks. Find the maximum marks in the examination.​

Answer 1

Answer:

800 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

MONA Scored 249 marks and failed by 31 marks.

So , If she had scored 31 more marks then she has passed.

Mona's marks after adding 31 more marks

249 + 31 = 280

Since she has passed exam is she has scored 280 marks

Therefore , 35 % of total marks = 280

Let the total marks be x

Therefore ,

35 % of x = 280

35 / 100 * x = 280

x = 280 * 100 / 35

x = 800

Hence, Total marks = 800
