(a) the maximum marks
(b) the percentage of marks scored by Manisha. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 200

(b) 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total marks be 'x'

25% of x = 50

25x/100 = 50

25x = 5000

x = 200

(a) total marks = 200

(b) 80/200 x 100

percentage of marks scored by MANISHA = 40%

Answer 2

Answer:

Maximum marks = 200  ; percentage of marks scored by Manisha = 40% ​

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let maximum marks be X

As shilpa scored 50 marks which is 25% of maximum marks

=> X * 25% = 50

   25X/100 = 50

   25X = 5000

    X = 200

Maximum marks are 200 marks

b) Manisha scored 80 marks out of 200 marks

  percentage of marks scored by Manisha = 80/200  *  100 = 40%
