Question

A student has to secure 40% marks to pass. He gets marks. He gets 80 marks and fails by 60 marks. Find the maximum number of marks

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

40% = 80+60 = 140 marks

means 140 marks for pass

40% of total marks = 140 marks

let total marks be A

40/100× A = 140

4/10 × A = 140

:-A = 140 × 10/4

= 1400/4

= 350 marks

Maximum number of marks 350

Answer 2

Answer:

=350

Step-by-step explanation:

40%=60+80=140

for 40%=140

so, 100%=x

40/100=140/x

x=140*100/40

x=14000/40

x=350

maximum numbers of marks are 350
