Question

Joseph scored 8 marks less than Amit in an examination
Kuma scored 12 marks more than Amit. In all they scored 205 marks.
What was the score of Joseph?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let us say Amit scored x marks

then, kuma scored x+12 marks

Joseph scored x-8 marks

x+x+12+x-8=205

3x+4=205

3x=201

x=201/3

x=67

amit scored 67 marks

Joseph scored 8 marks less than amit. So Joseph scored 67-8=59 marks

Answer 2

Answer:

LET THE MARKS OF AMIT= x

THEREFORE,

MARKS OF JOSEPH= (x-8)

MARKS OF KUMA= (x+12)

TOTAL MARKS= 205

ACCORDING TO QUESTION (A.T.Q.)

MARKS OF AMIT+MARKS OF JOSEPH+MARKS OF KUMA=TOTAL MARKS

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

x+x-8+x+12=205

3x+4=205

3x=205-4

3x=201

x=201/3

x=67

THEREFORE,

MARKS OF AMIT=x=67

MARKS OF JOSEPH = x-8 = 67-8 =

59 (ANSWER)
