In an examination, a student must get 36% marks to pass. A student who gets 190 marks failed by 35 marks. The total marks in that examination is

Let total marks in the exam be x.
According to the question,

=	x × 36	= 190 + 35 = 225
	100

⇒ x × 36 = 225 × 100

⇒ x =	225 × 100	= 625
	36

Aliter : Using Rule 24,
a = 36%, b = 190, c = 35

Total marks =	(b + c) × 100
	a

=	(190 + 35) × 100
	36

=	225 × 100	= 625
	36
