Answer 2

Answer:

The candidates for the exam is 1600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

In an examination 86% of the candidate passed and 224 failed.

As the percentage is always be 100% .

Thus

Candidate fail in the exam = 100% - 86%

                                            = 14%

Here

Percentage = 14%

Part value = 224

Put in the formula

$14 = \frac{224\times 100}{Total\ value}$

$Total\ value = \frac{22400}{14}$

Total value = 1600

Therefore the candidates for the exam is 1600.
