Question

Suresh scored 15 marks more then Ramesh in maths . if the sum of their marks is 275 find the marks obtained by each

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the marks scored by Ramesh be x

So the marks scored by Suresh will be x+15,

Given that,

x+x+15=275

solution:-

2x+15=275

2x=275-15

2x=260

x=260/2

x=130

So the marks scored by Ramesh are 130,

Marks scored by Suresh=130+15=145.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Let the Marks obtained by ramesh in maths be x.

and the Marks obtained by suresh in maths be x+15.

it is also given that sum of their marks is 275.

therefore,

x+(x+15)=275

2x+15=275

2x=275-15

2x=260

x=260÷2

x=130

therefore the Marks obtained by ramesh is 130

and Marks obtained by suresh is x+15=130+15=145
