nikhil scored 8 marks more than arnav in a quiz contest.together they scored 240 points.how much did nikhil score.

Answer 1

Let the marks scored by Arnav be x

Thus,marks scored by Nikhil=x+8

Marks,they scored together=240

Hence-------

=>x+x+8=240

=>2x+8=240

=>2x=240-8

=>2x=232

=>x=232/2

=>x=116

Thus,marks scored by Arnav is 116.

And,marks scored by Nikhil is 116+8=124.

Answer 2

Answer:

124

Step-by-step explanation:

let the mark scored by arnav be x

nikhil scored 8 marks more than arnav, mark of nikhil = x+8

x+x+8 = 240

2x+8 = 240

2x     = 240-8

2x     = 232

  x     = 232/2

         = 116

mark of arnav = 116

mark of nikhil = 116+8 = 124
