Question

Ambika got 99 percent marks in mathematics, 76 percent marks in Hindi, 61 percent in English, 84 percent in science and 95 percent in social science. If each subject carries 100 marks, then find the percentage of marks obtained by Ambika in aggregate of all subjects.

Answer 1

Hint: Here, we have given the percent marks of every subject then first of all we will calculate numerical marks from that percentage marks and then We have to find the total percentage of all the subjects that is achieved by the Ambika. The total percentage is obtained by the sum of the total marks obtained in all subjects by the total marks.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Here, the total marks in each subject is out of 100.
Therefore, the marks in the mathematics is 99 as it is \[99\% \] ,
 Marks in the hindi=76,
 Marks in the English=61,
 Marks in the science=84,
 Marks in the social science=95;
The total of all the marks in 5 subject=500
Now, the percentage of total of all subject$ = \dfrac{{99 + 76 + 61 + 84 + 95}}{{500}} \times 100\% $
$
   = \dfrac{{415}}{{500}} \times 100\% \\
   = 0.83 \times 100\% \\
   = 83\% \\
 $
Therefore, the total percentage obtained by the Ambika is \[83\% \].

Note: Here, in the question the marks are given in the form of the percentage and the total marks in each subject is 100. The marks out of the 100 is equal to the percentage of the marks obtained in each subject.
