Question

We know that Ted obtained 82.4% and the total marks was calculated out of 500. What expression do we write to obtain the total marks obtained by Ted?

• A. $\frac{x}{100}=\frac{500}{82.4}$
• B. $\frac{82.4}{500}=\frac{100}{x}$
• C. $\frac{82.4}{500}=\frac{x}{100}$
• D. $\frac{82.4}{100}=\frac{x}{500}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{82.4}{100}=\frac{x}{500}$

We know that Ted obtained 82.4% of marks. And we know that the total marks obtained were obtained out of a maximum of 500 marks.

Thus, if x is the marks obtained by Ted, then

$\frac{82.4}{100}=\frac{x}{500}$
