Question

in an examination, 65% of total students passed. If the number if failure is 840, find the total number of students?( step by step easily for 7th class)​

Answer 1

Answer: 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of students be 'y'

So, according to question 65% of y passed.

So Failed % = 100 - 65 = 35%

If the no. of students failed = 840.

So we can say, that

                     35 % of y = 840

                     $\frac{35}{100}$ of y = 840

                    y = 840 x 100 / 35

                   y = 24 x 100 = 2400

Therefore, Total no. of students is 2400
