Question

Meenu required 33% to pass .if she get 155 marks and falls shortly by 10 marks.what are the maximum marks?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the maximum mark be x.

Passing percentage = 33%

Marks obtained = 155

Fell short by 10 marks

Therefore,

Passing mark = 155 + 10 = 165

Now,

33% of x = passing mark

$\therefore \: \frac{33}{100} \times x = 165 \\ \implies \: x = \frac{165 \times 100}{33} \\ \implies \: x = 5 \times 100\\ \implies \: x = 500 \\ Thus \: the \: maximum \: mark \: is \: 500.$
