Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

140+25=33%

X=100%

Cross multiply:

165*100=33x

16500/33=X

500=X

Answer 2

Given:

Minimum percentage of marks required = 33%

To find:

The maximum marks.

Solution:

Let us assume maximum marks as X.

Marks scored by the student = 140

Since the student failed by 25 marks,

Therefore, we can write the following equation,

33% of X = 140 + 25

33X / 100 = 165

This shows,

If the child had got 165 marks, he would have cleared the exam

33 X = (165 × 100)

X = 16500/ 33

Maximum marks, X = 500

The maximum marks are 500 marks.
