Answer 2

Given : In an examination 60 students appeared. of them, 24 passed and the rest failed.

To find : Percentage of passed students and percentage of failed students.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the required percentages)

Here, we will be using the general percentage calculation method.

So, percentage of passed students :

= [100 × (Number of passed students / Total number of students who appeared in the exam)] %

= [100 × (24/60)] %

= 40%

Now, we have to calculate the number of failed students.

So, several failed students :

= Total number of students who appeared in the exam - Number of passed students

= 60 - 24

= 36

So, percentage of failed students :

= [100 × (Number of failed students / Total number of students who appeared in the exam)] %

= [100 × (36/60)] %

= 60%

Hence, 40% of students passed and 60% of students failed.
