Imagine two persons talking . One said my height is 10% more than yours.
If the height of 2nd person is 100cm , then the height of 1st person is 110cm.
But here: if I got 42% marks which is 12% more than passing marks , then did I get 112% of passing marks or I got 12% of total marks more than passing marks?
What is the difference between 1st and 2nd scenario?
Pls clear my misconception.
