So, Tom scored percent in the exam.

• A. 75
• B. 65
• C. 45
• D. 35

Answer 1

The correct option is D 35

$\text{Tom has scored}35\text{marks out of}100$.

To find the percentage of marks scored by Tom, let's represent the marks in the form of a fraction.


The grid represents the total number of marks and the colored portion shows the marks scored by Tom.

$\text{∴ Fraction for the colored part is:}\frac{35}{100}$

In a whole having 100 equal parts, the number of selected parts is known as the “percent” or “percentage of selected parts.”

So, Tom has scored 35 percent.
