Answer 1

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

STEP 1: Form equation:

Difference in percentage = 40 - 25 = 15%

Difference in marks = 20 - (-40) = 60 marks

15% = 60 marks

..............................................................................................

STEP 2: Find 100% (Full marks):

15% = 60 marks

1% = 60 ÷ 15 = 4 marks

100% = 4 x 100

100% = 400

..............................................................................................

STEP 3: Find passing marks:

Find the marks of the person who scored 40%:

1% = 4 marks

40% = 4 x 40 = 160 marks

We know that this person passed by 20 marks:

Passing marks = 160 - 20 = 140 marks

..............................................................................................

STEP 4 : Find the percentage of the passing marks:

Percentage = 140/400 x 100 = 35%

..............................................................................................

Answer: The pass percentage is 35%
