Question

Shanta got 215 marks in an examination. if she had got 10 marks more, she would have scored 60% of the total marks. What are the maximum marks for the examination?

Answer 1

she got 215....but if she would have gotten 10 more, she would have scored 60% of the total marks......so if she got (215 + 10) = 225 she would have scored 60% of the total marks...

so 60% of the total marks = 225
0.60x = 225
x = 225/0.60
x = 375 <===
