In an examination, the maximum marks are 900. A student gets 33% of the maximum marks and fails by 45 marks. What is the passing mark? Also, find the pass percentage.

Maximum marks = 900
A student got 33% of 900 marks

No. of. marks by which he failed = 45
∴ Pass marks = 297 + 45 = 342
Percentage of pass marks = `(342 xx 100)/900 = 38%`
