Question

Answer 1

35%=420
1%=420/35
100%=420/35*100
100%=1200

Answer 2

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Students Passed = 65%

Students failed = 100% - 65% = 35%

Let Total students be x

35% of x students area failed

we are also given that the number of failures is 420

So, $35\% \times x = 420$

$\frac{35}{100} \times x = 420$

$x = 420\times \frac{100}{35}$

$x = 1200$

Hence the total number of examinees is 1200
