Answer 1

Answer:

Marks scored by Paul = 22.85

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question,

Let the Marks scored by the Peter = x

So,

Marks scored by Paul = x + 10

Total marks scored = (x) + (x + 10) = (2x + 10)

Also,

Marks of Paul = 64 % of Total Marks

So, according to that,

$(x+10)=\frac{64}{100}(2x+10)\\x+10=1.28x+6.4\\0.28x=3.6\\x=12.85$

So,

Marks scored by Paul = x + 10 = 12.85 + 10 = 22.85

Hence, the marks scored by Paul is 22.85
