Question

In an examination, 60% of the candidates passed and 50 candidates failed. Find the number of total candidate who appeared in
examination​

Answer 1

Answer:

let total no.of candidates be x

Step-by-step explanation:

60x/100 + 50= x

60x/100 + 5000/100 = x

60x +5000 = 100x

5000= 100x-60x

5000= 40x

x = 5000/40

x = 500/4

x = 125

therefore, no.of candidates who appeared in the exam = 125
