What is the average percentage of marks obtained by all the students in Maths?

The maximum marks for Maths are 150, so the percentage for each student is their score divided by 150. The scores are 85, 70, 32, 140, 123, and 57, which sum to 507 total marks. The average marks obtained by the six students is 507 divided by 6, which equals 84.5 marks. The average percentage is (84.5 divided by 150) times 100, resulting in 56.33 percent, which rounds to 56 percent.
