Answer/Solution

925

Steps/Work

Explanation :
Let their maximum marks be x.
Then, 20% of x = 160 + 25
=>20/100x= 185
x = (18500/20)
x= 925.

Calculated Answer

925

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₁ + n₂) / (n₀ / 100).

n₀ =	20
n₁ =	160
n₂ =	25

(n₁ + n₂) / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate n₁ + n₂ = 185
185 / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate n₀ / 100 = 0.2
185 / 0.2
Evaluate 185 / 0.2 = 925
925
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₁ + n₂) / (n₀ / 100) is 925
