Question

In a test, a candidate scored 468 marks out of maximum marks. had the maximum marks converted to 700, he would have scored 336 marks. what was the maximum marks of test

Answer 1

since the two scores are being equated here it is evident that their % values are equal.

let the first score be n

then (n-468)/n is the % value

the second test score of (700-336)/700 is equal in value to the first value

therefore  (n-468)/n = (700-336)/700 
n= (468*700)/364
n= 900
