A student scored 72 marks in a test. If this was 60% of the total, what were the maximum marks?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Marks obtained = 72
This is 60% of the total marks
Formula:
Marks obtained = (Percentage / 100) × Total marks
72 = (60 / 100) × Total marks
Total marks = (72 × 100) / 60 = 120
