Shanta got 215 marks in an examination. if she had got 10 marks more, she would have scored 60% of the total marks. What are the maximum marks for the examination?
she got 215....but if she would have gotten 10 more, she would have scored 60% of the total marks......so if she got (215 + 10) = 225 she would have scored 60% of the total marks...
so 60% of the total marks = 225 0.60x = 225 x = 225/0.60 x = 375 <===
