Question

In an examination, Monika has to secure $45\%$ marks to pass. He secured $255$ marks and failed by $15$ marks. Find the maximum marks.

Answer 1

given pass percent is $45\%$

marks scored$=255$,marks needed to pass=$255+15=270$

if total marks are $x$ then

$\frac{45}{100}\times x=270\Rightarrow x=\frac{270\times 100}{45}=600$

therefore the maximum marks are $600$
