Question

joseph scored 8 marks fewer than amit in an examination . kumar scored 12 marks more than amit. in total they scored 205 marks. what was the score of joseph ?

Answer 1

Joseph's score is 59

Answer 2

let Amit scored 'x' marks

Joseph scored= (x - 8)

kumar scored = (x + 12)

total marks scored = 205

x + (x -8) + (x + 12) = 205

3x = 201 => x = 67

Joseph scored

= (x - 8) = 67 - 8 = 59 marks

Answer: Joseph scored= 59 marks
