Answer 2

Answer:

Joseph's score is 59

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Joseph scored 8 marks fewer then Amit is an examination Kumar scored 12 marks more than Amit in total they scored 205 marks

To Find: what was the score of Joseph

Solution :

Let Amit scored x marks

Since we are given that Joseph scored 8 marks fewer then Amit

⇒ x-8

Since we are given that Kumar scored 12 marks more than Amit

⇒x+12

Since we are given that  in total they scored 205 marks

⇒x+x-8+x+12 =205

⇒3x+4 =205

⇒3x=201

⇒x=67

Thus Amit'score is 67

Joseph's score is x-8 = 67-8 =59

Kumar's score = x+12=67+12=79

Hence Joseph's score is 59
