How many marks did Mary score in History?

The correct answer is

45

To find how many marks Mary scored in History, we start by understanding the information given:

  • The full marks for History are 75.
  • Mary scored 60% in History.

The percentage formula is given by:

Percentage = (Marks Scored / Total Marks) × 100

We rearrange this formula to calculate the Marks Scored:

Marks Scored = (Percentage × Total Marks) / 100

Substituting the given values:

Marks Scored = (60 × 75) / 100

This simplifies to:

Marks Scored = 4500 / 100 = 45

Therefore, Mary scored 45 marks in History.
