Question

In an examination, a student required 40 percentage of the total marks to pass .If
the Rupa gets 185 marks and fails by 15 marks , find the total marks

Answer 1

let the total marks be x

40%of x=185+15

40x/100=200

x=200×100/40

x=5×100

×=500

the total marks=500

Answer 2

185marks+15marks=40%
200marks=40%
5marks=1%
multiple by 100both sides
500=100%
total marks=500
