Question

In an exam 14percent students failed and 559 students passed.Determine the no. of students who failed.

Answer 1

Let Total Students Be X
% students failed is given =14%
So % students passed=86%
That means 86% of X is 559
Therefore,
(X*86)/100=559
So total students X=650
Now no. of students failed is 14%
So (650*14)/100=91
