Question

A student scores $55\%$ marks in $8$ papers of $100$ marks each. He scores $15\%$ of the total marks in English. How much does he score in English?

• A. $55$
• B. $66$
• C. $77$
• D. $44$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $66$

Given, student scores $55\%$ marks in English in $8$ papers of $100$ marks each.

So, his total marks $=\frac{55}{100}\times 800=440$

$15\%$ of his $440$ marks is $440\times \left(\frac{15}{100}\right)=66$

So, he scored $66$ marks in English.
