Question

An entrance examination for a job consists of 25% English, 50% Mathematics, 5% Typing and 20% Accounting, and the passing mark is 50. If an applicant sat for the examination and scored 48% in English, 35% in Mathematics, 80% in Typing and 50% in Accounting, do you think she will be accepted? Why?​

Answer 1

No, the total is 43.5 which is below 50.

Explanation:

English: 25% × 48 = 12

Mathematics: 50% × 35 = 17.5

Typing: 5% × 80 = 4

Accounting 20% × 50 = 10

12 + 17.5 + 4 + 10 = 43.5

Total: 43.5

Passing: 50

Answer: No. The total is too low.
