Question
A boy got 60 out of 80 in Hindi, 75 out of 100 in English and 65 out of 70 in Arithmetic. In which subject his percentage of marks the best? Also, find his overall percentage.
Solution
A boy gets in Hindi = 60 out of 80
∴ Percentage marks = `60/80xx100` = 75%
He gets in English 75 out of 100 = 75%
and he gets in Arithmetic, 65 out of 70
= `65/70xx100=650/7%=92 6/7%`
We see that he gets best marks in Arithmetic
Now total marks he gets = 60 + 75 + 65 = 200
Total marks = 80 + 100 + 70 = 250
Percent marks obtained = `200/250xx100` = 80%
