Question

In an examination, 300 students appeared. Out of these students; 28 % got first division, 54 % got second division and the remaining just passed. Assuming that no student failed; find the number of students who just passed?

Answer 1

Answer:

total students =300

students just passed = 100 - (54+28)

=100 - 82 =18

hence students just passed =18 persent of 300

300×18/100

3×18

54 students

Answer 2

Given:

In an examination, 300 students appeared. Out of these students; 28 % got first division, 54 % got second division and the remaining just passed.

To find:

The number of students who just passed if no students were failed.

Solution:

The number of students who just passed is 54.

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

As given, we have,

Total number of students who appeared in the examination = 300

Percentage of students who got first division = 28%

Percentage of students who got second division = 54%

So,

The percentage of students who just passed

$= 100\% - (28\% + 54\%)$

$= 100\% - 82\%$

$= 18\%$

Now,

The number of students who just passed

= Percentage of students who just passed × total number of students who appeared in the examination

$= 18\% \times 300$

$= \frac{18}{100} \times 300$

$= 54$

Hence, if no students were failed then the number of students who just passed is 54.
