Question

In an examination a student has to secure 40% marks to pass Rahul got178 and fails by32 marks find the maximum marks

Answer 1

Hey there !

Solution:

Let the Maximum marks be X

So 40% of X is the pass mark.

Rahul gets 178 maths and fails by 32 marks. So the pass mark is 178 + 32 which is 210 marks.

So 40% of X is 210 marks.

=> ( 40 / 100 ) * X = 210

=> ( 0.4 ) X = 210

=> X = 210 / 0.4 = 525 marks.

Hence the maximum marks that can be scored is 525 marks.

Hope my answer helped !
