Question

Asha got 86.875% marks in the annual examination. If she got 695 marks, find the total
numbers of marks of the examination.​

Answer 1

Answer:let total marks be x

(86.875/100) × x=695

x=(695×100)/86.875

=69500/86.875

=800

therefore, total marks are 800

Answer 2

Answer:

The total marks of the examination was 800.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage marks obtained by Asha can be expressed as follows:

$Percentage\ marks=\frac{Marks\ obtained}{Total\ marks}\times100$

Given:

Percentage marks = 86.875%

Marks obtained = 695.

Compute the total marks as follows:

$Percentage\ marks=\frac{Marks\ obtained}{Total\ marks}\times100\\86.875=\frac{695}{Total\ marks}\times100\\Total\ marks=\frac{695\times100}{86.875} \\=800$

Thus, the total marks of the examination was 800.
