Question

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

Answer 1

Let the score of Amit be x.
Joseph = x-8
Kumar = x+12
Total marks in the exam = 205

So,
$x + x - 8 + x + 12 = 205$

$3x = 205 - 12 + 8$
$3x = 201$

$x = \frac{201}{3}$

$x = 67$

Their scored marks in exam are,
Amit = 67
Joseph = 67-8 = 59
Kumar = 67+12 = 79
