Total number of students = 480

Percentage of total students passed

= 75 % of total student = 75×480100=360students" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">75×480100=360students75×480100=360students

Now, using the condition from the question,

Let the number of boys be x
Then, 70% of x + 85% of (480 - x) = 360

=> 70×x100+85×(480−x)100=360" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">70×x100+85×(480−x)100=36070×x100+85×(480−x)100=360

=> 70x - 85x + 40800 = 36000

=> 40800 - 36000 = 85x - 70x

=> 4800 = 15x

=> x=480015=320" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">x=480015=320x=480015=320

There are 320  boys who have appeared for the examination.
