Question

In an examination, a candidate has to score 40% marks to pass. Anil scores 22 and failed by 8 marks. What is the full marks?​

Answer 1

75

Explanation:

Let full marks be x

Then pass marks is 40% of x which is 0.4x

As per given, we have

22= 0.4x - 8

Solving for x

0.4x = 30

x = 30/0.4

x = 75

So full marks is 75
