Answer 2

Hello

Here is your answer

No. of students passed(P)=559

No. of students failed%=14%

No. of students passed%=100%-14%=86%

Let the total no. of students be x

No. of students passed=559

86x/100=559

0.86x=559

0.86*100=559*100

86x=55900

x=55900/86

x=650

No. of students failed=Total -No. of students passed

=650-559

=91

OR

No. of students failed=14/100*650

=0.14*650

=91

Hope it helps you..
