Question

7: An entrance examination for a job consists of 25% English, 30% Mathematics, 25% computer and 20% accounting, and the passing mark is 45. If an applicant sat for the examination and scored 60% in English, 35% in Mathematics, 80% in computer and 50% in Accounting, do you think she will be accepted?​

Answer 1

Answer: The overall score obtained is 55.5, which is higher than the passing mark of 45. Therefore, the applicant will be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:To determine if the applicant will be accepted, we need to calculate their overall score based on the percentage weights and passing mark given for each subject.

The overall score can be calculated as follows:

Overall score = (0.25 x English score) + (0.3 x Math score) + (0.25 x Computer score) + (0.2 x Accounting score)

Substituting the given scores, we get:

Overall score = (0.25 x 60) + (0.3 x 35) + (0.25 x 80) + (0.2 x 50)

= 15 + 10.5 + 20 + 10

= 55.5
