Question

If Shakila scored 760 out of 1000 marks in an exam, what was the percentage of the marks she scored?

Answer 1

Total marks = 1000
Marks scored by Shakila = 760
It can be expressed as $\frac{760}{1000}$.
To find the percentage of marks she scored, we will use the fraction with denominator 100.
We will divide the numerator and denominator by 10.
∴ $\frac{760}{1000}=\frac{760÷10}{1000÷10}=\frac{76}{100}$ = 76

Thus, Shakila scored 76% marks.
