Question

In an examination pass marks are 40% .Jacob gets 205 marks and fails by 35marks find maxm marks

Answer 1

Jacob's marks = 205

marks by he fails = 35 marks

therefore the passing marks = 205 + 35 = 240

We know passing marks are 40 % of the maximum marks,

let maximum marks = x

now 240 = 40% of x

40/100 * x = 240

x = 240 * 100/40

x = 600 marks

Answer 2

Answer: 612.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Jacob fails by 35 marks hence passing marks = 205+35

                                                                                   = 240.

2. hence 40/100 * x (max marks) = 240

   hence x = 600 Marks.
