Easy S1 Question - Stuck! :(

Hey, this sounds like an easy 2 mark question but i just can't find a way to solve the answer..

Question 1 part 4! :smile:

http://www.ocr.org.uk/download/pp_11_jan/ocr_61435_pp_11_jan_gce_473201.pdf

The question is: The minimum mark for grade A (the top grade) on Paper1 was 10 marks lower than the minimum mark for grade A in paper2. Given that 25 students gained a grade A in P1, find the number of candidates that got an A in P2

Thanks...

start by finding (reading off the graph) what the minimum required mark for an A on paper 1 was.

Hint: you know 25 people got a A on that paper
