Question

a got 125 marks still failed by 40 number. passing marks is 33%. what is total marks

Answer 1

Hello,
Marks obtained = 125
Passing marks = 125+40 = 165
So,
Passing percentage = 33%
So,
Let the total marks be x
Then,
33% of x = 165
Or,
$\frac{33}{100} x = 165 \\ x = \frac{165 \times 100}{33} \\ x = 500$
Therefore, total marks is 500

Hope this will be helping you ✌️
