Question:
Asha got 86.875% marks in the annual examination. If she got 695 marks, find the total number of marks of the examination.
Solution:
Let $x$ be the total number of marks of the examination.
Then, $86.875 \%$ of $x=695$
$\Rightarrow \frac{86.875}{100} x=695$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{695 \times 100}{86.875}$
$=800$
$\therefore$ The total number of marks of the examination is 800 .
