Answer 2

Given:

In an examination, it is required to get 33% for passing. The student gets 140 marks and failed by 25 marks.

To find:

The maximum marks of the examination.

Solution:

To determine the maximum marks we have to follow the below steps as follows-

Let the maximum marks of the examination be x.

The passing mark is 33% of x.

Hence passing marks=33x/100.

Now the student gets 140 and failed by 25 marks so, passing marks are 140+25=165.

So, we can write-

$\frac{33x}{100} = 165 \\ x = 165 \times \frac{100}{33} \\ x = 5 \times 100 \\ x = 500$

The maximum marks for the examination are 500.
