Explanation

The student scored 75 marks. If she scored 6 more, she would have 81 marks, which is the passing score. The passing percentage is (81 / 300) * 100 = 27 percent.

AI explanation

If the student scored 6 more marks, her total would be 75 + 6 = 81 marks. The passing marks of the exam are therefore 81 out of the total 300 marks. Using the percentage formula (Marks Obtained / Total Marks) * 100, we calculate (81 / 300) * 100, which results in a passing percentage of 27%.
