Question

40%of the maximum marks are required to pass an exam.Astudent got 168marks and failed by 32marks, find the maximum marks​

Answer 1

Answer:

500 marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, maximum marks be n.

Marks scored by student = 168

Short of passing by = 32 marks

Now, 40% of n is required to pass.

So, 40% of n = 168+32 = 200

(40/100) x n = 200

4n/10 = 200

n = 2000/4 = 500

Thus, the maximum marks is 500.

Hope this helps!
