In an examination, it is required to score 32% of the aggregate marks for a student to pass the exam. Shelly scored 240 marks and was declared fail by 32 marks. Find the aggregate marks.
Let the aggregate marks be X
Minimum passing marks = 240 + 32 = 272
⇒ 32% of X = 272
⇒ X = 272 × 100/32 = 850
∴ The aggregate marks = 850
