Question

a student has to secure 35% marks to pass in a test he got 80 marks and failed by 60 marks find the maximum marks of the test step by step ​

Answer 1

scored = 80 marks.

Failed by = 60 marks .

Then , Average marks for passing = 80+60 = 140 marks .

Let the maximum marks = x

Given : 35% of x marks = 140

35× [1/100]×x = 140

35x = 140×100

35x = 14000

x = 1400/35

x= 400.
