The following table gives the percentage of marks obtained by seven students in six different subjects in an examination.

The Numbers in the Brackets give the Maximum Marks in Each Subject.

Student Subject (Max. Marks)
Maths Chemistry Physics Geography History Computer Science
(150) (130) (120) (100) (60) (40)
Ayush905090607080

What was the aggregate of marks obtained by Sajal in all the six subjects?
409
419
429
449
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Aggregate marks obtained by Sajal

    = [ (90% of 150) + (60% of 130) + (70% of 120)

          + (70% of 100) + (90% of 60) + (70% of 40) ]

    = [ 135 + 78 + 84 + 70 + 54 + 28 ]

    = 449.

How come max marks in his and comp is low and students have scored more marks?

Bhavhar said:   1 decade ago
Is there any shortcut for these type of sums?

I mean here the percentage calculation is easy but say for eg. If the percentage of sajal is 68% in maths, 73%in history and so on then what should we do?

90% of 150 is 135? Could any one please explain?

Total marks 150 and obtained 90.

= (90/100)*150 = 135.

90% of 150, just calculate 10% of 150 i.e. 15 delete it from 135 you get.

90% of 150 as 135.

90% of 150 = 150-15 (15 is 10% of 150) = 135.

Can't we find it in one step rather than firstly take out percentage then solve it out. Is there any way?

90% of 150.

90% = 90/100 = 0.9.

= 0.9*150 = y.

Then y = 135.
