Question

Joshep scored 8 mark fewer than Amit in examinations. Kumar scored 12marks more than Amit, in total they scored 205 marks. what was the score of Joshep ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Joseph scored=59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marks scored by Amit be x

Then,

Joseph scored (x-8) and Kumar scored (12+x)

Then ,total marks scored by them is 205.

A.P.C,

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

or, 3x+4=205

or, 3x=205-4

or, 3x=201

or, x=67

Answer 2

Let the score of amit be x

Score of Joseph=x-8 (given in question)

Score of Kumar=x+12 (given)

Total score=205

Then,

x-8 + x+12 + x = 205

3x+4=205

3x=205-4

3x=201

x=201/3

x=67

Therefore,

Score of amit =x=67

Score of Joseph=x-8=67-8=59

Score of Kumar=x+12=67+12=79

Am I right

If yes thanks
