Question

If 24 marks is 60% what is full marks

Answer 1

If 24 marks is 60 %, then full marks is 40

Solution:

Given that 24 marks is 60 %

We are asked to find the full marks

Let the full marks be "x"

So out of "x" marks, he has got 24 marks

Therefore,

60 % of full marks = 24

60 % of x = 24

$60 \% \times x = 24\\\\\frac{60}{100} \times x = 24\\\\0.6x = 24\\\\x = \frac{24}{0.6}\\\\x = 40$

Therefore, full marks is 40

Method 2:

If 60 % is 24, then we have to find what is 100 %

60 % = 24

100 % = x

This forms a proportion, So we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

$60 \% \times x = 24 \times 100 \% \\\\60x = 2400\\\\x=\frac{2400}{60}\\\\x = 40$

Thus full marks is 40
