Question

Solve the following.
Shabana scored 736 marks out of 800 in her exams. What was the percentage she scored?

Answer 1

Marks obtained by Shabana = 736
Total marks = 800
Suppose the marks obtained by Shabana be x%. Let us write in two forms, the ratio of the number of marks obtained to the total marks, obtain an equation and solve it. Then, we have
$\frac{x}{100}=\frac{736}{800}$
⇒$\frac{x}{100}\times 100=\frac{736}{800}\times 100$
⇒x = 92
∴ Shabana scored 92% marks in her exams.
