Question

In an examination, 95% of the candidates passed and 92 failed. Find the number of candidates
who appeared for the examination.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total number of candidates = 1840

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of candidates = x

We are given that:

95% of candidates passed => 5% of candidates failed

Also,

No. of candidates that failed = 92

=> 5% of x = 92

=> 0.05*x = 92

=> x = (92/0.05)

=> x = (9200/5)

=> x = 1840

The total number of candidates = 1840
