35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

first we have to find out 33%of 500

which is = 165

therefore the student got 165 out of 500

Now according to the question the student failed by 10 marks

so we will increase 10 marks in order to find the pass percentage ( we did so because he failed by 10 marks if he had passed by 10 marks then we have decreased it )

165 + 10 = 175

Now finding the pass percentage

175 ÷ 500 × 100 = 35%

hence the pass percentage is 35%
