3.
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.

Aggregate is 449, but we are not dividing it by 6. i.e 449/6.

10% of 150 = 15.

90% of 150 = 9 X (10%) = 15 x 9 = 135.

Similarly find 10% of total and multiply as required.

How you got 90% of 150=135?

Aishwarya said:   1 decade ago
90% of 150.

90% = 90/100 = 0.9.

= 0.9*150 = y.

Then y = 135.

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

Ajay said:   1 decade ago
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.

Total marks 150 and obtained 90.

= (90/100)*150 = 135.

Anusha said:   1 decade ago
