Answer 1

Answer:

Question:-

In an examination, 92% of the total examinees passed. If the number of failures is 48, find the total number of examines.

Answer:-

Let the total number of candidates be 'x'

Number of candidates who failed = 46

Number of candidates who passed = 92% of x

According to the given condition

92% of x = x – 46

⇒ (92/100) x = x – 6

⇒ 92x = 100x – 4600

⇒ -8x = – 4600

⇒ x = 4600/8 = 575

Number of candidates who appeared for the examination = 575
