Question

In a examination it is required to get 36 % to pass .A student gets 145 marks and fails by 35 marks . The maximum marks are?

Answer 1

Let the maximum marks be x

ATQ, He needs to get 36% of x to get passed. Which means,

36/ 100 * x = PASS ----------- (1)

Also, He gets 145 marks. Had it been 35 more, he would've passed. So let's put the condition into an equation. We get,

145 + 35 = PASS ------------ (2) 

Equating both the equations, we get:

36/100 x = 145 + 35
36/100 x = 180
x= (180 * 100) /36
x= 18000/36
x= 500

So the maximum marks were 500

Answer 2

Answer:

133+85=198

36%=198

100%=?

198×100/36=550
