Question

In an examination a student requires 40% of tge total marks to pass.If rupa gets 185 marks and fails by 15 marks find the total marks

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since rupa failed by 15 marks the passing mark is 200 (185+15)

Since 200 is 40% of total marks then,

Let x be total marks

200/x *100= 40

200/x = 40/100

200/x=4/10

200/x= 2/5

200*5=2x

X=1000/2

X=500

Answer 2

total marks required by rupa to pass the exam=185+15=200

200is 40%

so,

5is1%

so,

500 is100%

maximum marks are 500
