Answer 2

Let  x be the number of students who took the exam

80% passed the exam

Hence 20% failed the exam

Number of those who failed is 60

Hence

20% of x = 60

$\frac{20x}{100}=60$

$2x=600$

$x = 300$

Hence total number of students is 300

Since 60 failed

Number of those who passed = $300-60=240$

Hence 240 students passed the exam
