Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

50% =200

100%= (200÷50)×100=400

Answer 2

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

In an examination 50% of total examinees passed, number of failure is 200

To find -

The total number of examinees

Solution -

If 50% passed, so 50% will fail (100%-50%)

Let us consider total number of examinees as x

so,

50% of total examinees failed = 200

$= > 50\% \: of \: x = 200 \\ = > 50\% \times x = 200 \\ = > \frac{50}{100} \times x = 200 \\ = > 50 \times x = 200 \times 100 \\ = > 50 \times x = 20000 \\ = > x = \frac{20000}{50} \\ = > x = \frac{2000}{5} \\ = > x = 400$

Hence Total number of examinees = 400
