To find : The percentage of passing marks =?

Solution :

• It is given that marks of a girl in mathematics = $50$

          A girl failed by marks in mathematics = $10$

• Now, to find the percentage of passing marks, we have a formula,

                 % Passing marks = $\frac{passing marks }{total marks } *100$

                                            = $\frac{60}{200} *100$
