Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hi there, are two answers for this

A pass mark =185+15=200

let x be the total mark

then  40/100*x=200

40x=20000

x=20000/40=500

therefore the total mark =500

i hope this helps u

.B. The pass marks in the examination will be :  185 + 15 = 200 marks

200 marks are  40% of the total marks.

200 = 40/100  * total marks

total marks = 200 * 100 / 40  = 500

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer will be 500 marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

As stated in the question,

                    40% is the passing percent.

                    Rupa get failed by 15 marks.

here,           the marks of Rupa + the marks that she failed to gain are the                  

                   passing  marks and 40% is the passing percent.        

and,          Let the total marks be x.

Then we can say, from above context, that :

                        ⇒ 40% * x = (185+15);

                        ⇒ 40/100 * x = 200;

                       ⇒ x = (200 * 100) / 40;

                       ⇒ x = 20000/ 40;

                       ⇒ x = 500.

Therefore, total marks will be 400.

That's all.
