Question

in a examination,a student must get 33 percent marks to pass .a student got 240 marks and failed by 24 markals find the maximum marks?

Answer 1

let max marks be x
33x/100 = 240 + 24
x = 264 × 100/33
x = 800

Answer 2

Let the maximum marks be x
Passing marks = 33%
Marks obtained by student is 240
He failed by 24 marks
So the passing marks were 264
So,
264 = 33
x = 100
After cross multiplying
264 ×100/33
= 800

So, the maximum marks were 800
