Question

The table shows the marks obtained by five students in Mathematics and Physics. Refer to the table to answer the question.

If the marks obtained by E in Mathematics are increased by

25%

of the original marks, what will be his new percentage in Mathematics, assuming the maximum marks are

150

?

Accepted Answer

According to the table, the marks obtained by E in Mathematics =

60

.
Step 1: Calculate the increase in marks:

Increase = 25% of 60 = \frac{25}{100} \times 60 = 15

Step 2: Find the new marks obtained by E in Mathematics:

New Marks = 60 + 15 = 75

Step 3: Calculate the new percentage in Mathematics, given maximum marks are

150

:

New Percentage = (\frac{New Marks}{Maximum Marks}) \times 100

New Percentage = (\frac{75}{150}) \times 100 = 0.5 \times 100 = 50%
