Answer 2

Given - Percent of passed students and number of failed students

Find - Total number of students who appeared

Solution - The total number of students who appeared in the examination is 400.

Let the total number of students who appeared in the examination be x.

Percent of failed students = 100 - 32

Percent of failed students = 68%

Now, as per the question -

68%*x = 272

x = 272*100/68

x = 400

So, the number of students who appeared in the examination is 400.
