Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Marks scored by Rupa= 185

Failed by 15 marks

Passing marks= 185+15

= 200

200= 40% of total marks

Let total marks be x.

40/100x= 200

X= 200×100/40

X= 5×100

X= 500

Total marks of exam= 500

VERIFY:

40/100×500= 200

40×5= 200

200= 200

LHS= RHS

Hence, verified
