The total number of candidates is 4062.
Given:-
Percentage of absent candidates = 5%
Percentage of failed candidates = 15%
Number of Candidates passed = 3250
To Find:-
The total number of candidates.
Solution:-
We can easily find the total number of candidates by using these simple steps.
As
Percentage of absent candidates = 5%
Percentage of failed candidates = 15%
Number of Candidates passed = 3250
Total percentage = 100%
Percentage of absent and failed candidates = 5 + 15 = 20%
Percentage of Passed candidates = Total candidates - Percentage of absent and failed candidates
Percentage of Passed candidates = 100 - 20
Percentage of Passed candidates = 80%
Now, As given
Number of passed candidates = 3250
and Let the total number of candidates be x.
Accordingly,
Hence, The total number of candidates is 4062.
