Question

Two students Athul and kiran took a test. Athul got 65% of the maximum marks in
the test and Kiran got 55% of the maximum marks of the test. The difference between
the marks obtained by Athul and Kiran is 48. What are the maximum marks of the
test?​

Answer 1

Answer:

480 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total marks be x.

Then marks got by Athul = $\frac{55}{100}\cdot x$

And marks of Kiran = $\frac{65}{100}\cdot x$

Difference=48

$\frac{\left(65x-55x\right)}{100}=48$

$\frac{10}{100}\cdot x=48$

$x=48\cdot10$

$=480$ marks.

Hope this helps. Good day to you.
