Question

Raj requires 40 % marks to pass in an exam . If he gets 185 marks and falls short by 15 marks , then what was the maximum marks of the exam ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let max marks be x

He fails by 15 marks and scores 185 marks

Then, passing marks are 185+ 15=200

Now, passing percentage is 40%

Then, 200 = 40% of x

200 = 40/100 × x

x = 500 marks

So, the maximum number of marks is 500
