Question

Ella requires 50% to pass. If she gets 420 marks and falls short by 30 marks, what were the maximum amount of marks she could have got?

Answer 1

Answer:

If he falls short by 30 marks then the passing marks will be 270+30=300

And this is the 50% of the total marks

Therefore,

50% of x = 300

x = 300×100/50

x=300×2

x=600

The maximum marks were 600
