Math Problem Statement
In an examination, A got 25% more marks than B, B got 10% less marks than C, and C got 25% more marks than D, D got 320 out of 500, then A got how many marks?
Solution
Given the relationships among the marks of students A, B, C, and D, we can determine the marks for A step-by-step starting from D.
