The total number of marks in the examination is <u>500 marks</u> when the passing percentage is 40%, and a candidate securing 190 marks, failed by 10 marks.

In the question, we are given that in an examination, a candidate has to secure 40 percent of the marks to pass.

We are asked the total number of marks in the examination if a candidate secured 190 marks and failed by 10 marks.

The marks secured by the candidate = 190 marks.

The marks which he failed by = 10 marks.

Thus, passing marks = 190 + 10 = 200 marks.

We assume the total marks to be x marks.

We are given that to pass, a candidate needs 40 percent of the total marks.

Thus, passing marks = 40% of x marks.

But, we calculated the passing marks to be 200 marks.

Thus, we get an equation,

40% of x = 200,

or, 40/100 * x = 200,

or, x = 200*100/40 = 500.

Thus, the total number of marks in the examination is <u>500 marks</u>, when the passing percentage is 40%, and a candidate securing 190 marks, failed by 10 marks.

under a dilation, the point (2,6) is moved to (6,18) what is the scale factor of the dilation? enter your answer in the box​
Anestetic [448]
<h2>3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line passing through the two points is \frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1} }=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}

When substituted,the equation becomes \frac{y-6}{x-2}=\frac{18-6}{6-2}

which when simplified is y=3\times x

The line clearly passes through origin.

The distance between two points is \sqrt{(y_{1}-y_{2} )^{2}+(x_{1}- x_{2} )^{2}}

Distance between origin and (2,6) is \sqrt{40}.

Distance between origin and (6,18) is \sqrt{360}

Scale factor is  \frac{distance\text{ }of\text{ }p_{2}\text{ from origin}}{distance \text{ } of \text{ } p_{1}\text{ from origin}}

So,scale factor is \frac{\sqrt{360} }{\sqrt{40} }

which when simplified becomes 3.

A Square was altered so that one side is increased by 9 inches in the other side is decreased by 2 inches.The area of the result
LekaFEV [45]

Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square.  The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.

The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.

This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods.  Let's rewrite this equation in standard form:  s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:

s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0.  This factors as follows:  (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6.  Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative.  Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
