Question

A codidate who gets 36 marks in an exam fail by 24 marks but another condidate who get 43% marks get 18 more marks than the minimum pass marks .find the maxium marks and the percentage of pass marks

Answer 1

78 out of what is 43%?

78 out of X is 43%

Equation: Y/X = P%

Solving our equation for X
X = Y/P%
X = 78/43%

Converting percent to decimal:
p = 43%/100 = 0.43

X = 78/0.43
X = 181.3953

Answer 2

In any case: 2 equations will be formed for this. 

Assuming 't' is the total marks & 'p' being the passing marks. 

(1) 0.20t = p -10 
(2) 0.42t = 1.12p 

Solving for t yields, t = 560/9.8 , which is approx. 57 or 58. Also, p = approx. 21. ..
