Question

hameed obtained 480marks out of 750mark in an examination. what % didi he obtain in the examination?

Answer 1

Answer :-

• Hamid obtained 64% in the examination.

Given :-

• Hameed got 480 marks out of 750 marks in an examination.

To find :-

• What % did he obtain in the examination.

Step-by-step explanation :-

Out of 750 marks, Hameed got 480 marks.

We know that :-

$\sf \dfrac{Marks\: obtained}{Total \: marks} \times 100 = \%$

Substituting the values, we get :-

$\sf \dfrac{480}{750} \times 100$

First lets cut off the zeroes.

We get :-

$\sf \dfrac{48}{75} \times 100$

Both 48 and 75 are divisible by 3, so let's reduce them.

We get :-

$\sf \dfrac{16}{25} \times 100$

Now, 25 and 100 are divisible by 25. So lets reduce them. (25 × 4 = 100)

We get :-

$\sf \dfrac{16}{1} \times 4$

Now, 16 × 4 = 64.

So, Hamid scored 64% in his examination.
