Question

in an examination, pass marks are 45%. A candidate secured 280 marks and failed by 35 marks. Find the maximum marks.

Answer 1

it will be 700. 280+35/45 = 7 which is equal to 1% of total marks . so 100% will be 7*100=700

Answer 2

Answer: 700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let maximum marks be x

Marks required to pass = 280 + 35 =315

x*45/100=315

x=(315*100)/45

x=7*100

x= 700

Maximum Marks = 700
