20% more so
90 * .2 =18.0
so 90-18 =72 in geograpghy
i think it should be 72
Ned said:
if there is confusion, check the answer:
Verifying for 72:
(72 * 20)/100 = 14.4
72 + 14.4 is equal to 86.4
Verifying for 75:
(75 * 20)/100 = 15
75 + 15 equal to 90
Therefore, 75 marks were obtained in the Geography test and 20% more of 75 is 90 that was obtained in the Mathematics exam.
Good Luck

The 20% is related to the marks that he had scored in geography, not to the marks of mathematics..........
X + (20% of X) = 90
75 + (0.2 * 75 ) = 75 + ( 15 ) = 90
The right answer is 75......
