Question

$\text{Milinda}$ will pass an exam if she gets at least 42% of the maximum score. What was $\text{Milinda}$'s passing score on an exam with a maximum score of 700?

• A. $294$
• B. $280$
• C. $296$
• D. $292$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $294$

Given that,
Maximum score $=700$
Percentage required to pass the exam
$=42$

$42\%=\frac{42}{100}$
$=0.42$
So,
Score required by Milinda to pass the exam
$=42\%of700$
$=0.42\times 700$
$=294$
