Let’s assume the total no. of marks = x

Percentage calculations = (marks obtained / total marks) × 100

Then to pass the percentage required = (1034/x) × 100 ---- 1

Percentage student gets = (940/x) × 100 ---- 2

Difference of (1) and (2) = 5% = 0.05

⇒ (1034/x) × 100 – (940/x) × 100 = 5

So, x = 1880
