Question 73

In a test, a candidate secured 468 marks out of maximum marks ‘A”. Had the maximum marks ‘A’ converted to 700, he would have secured 336 marks. What was the maximum marks of the test?

When the maximum marks were 700 the secured marks would be 336 
% of marks out of 700 = $$\frac{336}{700}$$ x 100 = 48%
Now 468 is 48% of maximum marks ‘A’ 
468 = $$\frac{48}{100}$$ x A
A = 468 x $$\frac{100}{48}$$
   = 975
