A student has to secure 40% marks to pass. He gets 178 marks and fails by 22 marks. The maximum marks are?
Answer: 500
Explanation
The student fails by 22 marks, meaning the passing marks are:
178 + 22 = 200
Since 40% marks are required to pass:
40% of Total Marks = 200
Solving for Total Marks:
Total Marks = (200 × 100) ÷ 40 = 500
