Question

A candidate, the maximum to get 45% to pass. Candidate gets 180 marks. Fail 45 marks. What is maximum marks?

Answer 1

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say maximum marks = M

45% = (45/100)M = 0.45M

0.45M = 180+45

M = 225/0.45

M = 500

Answer 2

Given:

Marks in examination = 45%

A candidate gets 180 marks.

Fails 45 marks.

To find:

The maximum marks.

Solution:

A candidate gets 180 marks

Fail 45 marks.

Marks = 180 + 45

Marks = 225

Let the maximum marks be M

Mark in examination is 45%

45% of total marks =  $\frac{45}{100}$  × M

45% of total marks = Marks

$\frac{45}{100}$  × M = 225

M = 225 × $\frac{100}{45}$

M = 5 × 100

M = 500

Maximum marks = 500

Final answer:

The maximum marks is 500
