Question

15.What is the total number of candidates at an exam if 35% fail and the number of those who pass exceeds the number the number of those who fail by 240.

Answer 1

Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students be “X”

⟹  31% of X = 248

⟹  31 X 100 = 248

⟹  X = 248∗10031

⟹  X = 8∗100 = 800

OR

31% of the students means 248 students.

So 100% of the students= (248/31)×100

= 8×100= 800

Total no.of candidates = 800
