Question

in a test, a student scored 17 marks and failed by 3 marks. find the maximum marks. find the maximum marks of the test if a student must score at least 40% to pass the test​

Answer 1

Answer:

Passing Marks=20, Maximum marks =50

Step-by-step explanation:

Marks scored=17

Failed by = 3 marks(they should give grace marks but)

In order to pass the examination he/she must score=17+3=20 marks

Passing marks =20, Passing percentage=40%

Let the maximum marks be x

40%of x =20

x=100%-40%=60%

60%=20+1/2 of 20

60%=20+10

60%=30

60%+40%=100%

30+20=50

Maximum marks=50
