Answer 2

➤ Given :-

Total mark of exam :- 900

Percentage scored by Vijay :- 85%

➤ To Find :-

Marks lost by Vijay............

➤ Solution :-

First, we should find the total marks he obtained and then we can find how much marks he had lost by subtracting the total marks and the marks obtained..........

Marks obtained by Vijay :-

${\tt \longrightarrow 85 \bf\% \tt \: \: of \: \: 900}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{85}{100} \times 900}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{85}{\cancel{100}} \times \cancel{900} = \boxed{\tt 85 \times 9}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow 765 \sf \: \: marks}$

Now,

Marks lost by Vijay :-

${\tt \longrightarrow 900 - 765}$

${\tt \longrightarrow 135 \sf \: \: marks}$

$\Huge\therefore$ Vijay lost 135 marks in his examination.
