To determine if Steve has passed, we first need to calculate his percentage score. This can be found using the formula:
ext{Percentage Score} = rac{ ext{Score}}{ ext{Total Marks}} imes 100 = rac{52}{61} imes 100
Calculating this gives:
e x t P e r c e n t a g e S c o r e = 85.2459 e x t . . . ≈ 85.25 % ext{Percentage Score} = 85.2459 ext{...} \approx 85.25\% e x t P erce n t a g e S core = 85.2459 e x t ... ≈ 85.25%
