Answer:
Riya does not pass
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question:
Section A has 80 marks
Section B has 120 marks.
The total marks from both sections = 200 marks
To pass, Riya needs to score 65% of the total marks.
Hence: 65% of 200 marks
= 65/100 × 200
= 130 marks.
To pass Riya must score 130 marks.
Riya scores:
For section A
55% in Section A
Her marks in section A = 55% × 80
= 55/100 × 80
= 44 marks
For section B
70% in Section B.
Her marks in section A = 70% × 120
= 70/100 × 120
= 84 marks
Therefore , the total marks Riya scored in both sections =
44 marks + 84 marks
= 128 marks
Riya scored a total of 128 marks. SHE DOES NOT PASS. Because the pass mark is a total of 130 marks from Section A and Section B
