Question

Examination if 400 students passed and 60% fail what is the total number of students appeared for the examination

Answer 1

Solution:

Number of passed students

= 400

percentage of failed students = 60%

percentage of passed students = (100-60)%

= 40%

Let Total number of students

appeared = x

40% of x = 400

=> (40/100) × x = 400

=> x = (400×100)/40

=> x = 10 × 100

=> x = 1000

Therefore,

Total students appeared (x)=1000
