Question

In an examination the passing mark is 30% in the examination a student gets 200 marks for short by 10 marks find the total mark of the examination

Answer 1

30% of x= 200 +10
or 30x/100 =210
or 30x=210*100
or x= 21000/30
or x= 700

therefore, total marks =700

Answer 2

Passing marks=200+10=210marks
Passing marks in % =30%
Let total marks be x
x*30/100=210
X=21000/30
x=700marks
