Question

36%of the maximum marks is required to pass a test. a students gets 123 marks and is declared fail by 39 marks . Find the maximum marks

Answer 1

Let the maximum marks be x

Given that the students got 123 marks

Also it is given that he is failed by 39 marks

Hence marks required to pass = 123 + 39 = 162

That is 36% of x = 162

⇒ (36/100) × x = 162

⇒ x = 162 × (100/36) = 450

Thus the total marks are 450.

Answer 2

let maximum marker x
36%* x =123+39
×=(100×162)÷36
x=450
