Answer 1

let the maximum marks of test be = x marks
_______________________________
Given , that the 30% of the maximum marks are required to pass the test.

then , Find the required pass marks :
_______________________________
pass marks of test = 36 % of maximum marks

= 36 % of x = 36 × x /100 = 0.36x marks

pass marks = 0.36 x marks

according to question ,

pass marks = 109 marks + 35 marks

0.36 x = 109 + 35

0.36x = 144

36x / 100 = 144

36 x = 14400

x = 14400 / 36 = 400 marks

therefore ,

maximum marks(M.M) = 400 marks
_______________________________
Your Answer : M.M = 400 marks
