Question

In an examination 95% students passed and 40 students failed. Find the total number of
students who appeared in the examination.

Answer 1

Let total number of students = x

% students passed = 95%

% students failed = 100 - 95 = 5%

number of students failed = 40

5 × x = 40

100

5x = 40 × 100

x = 40 × 100

5

x = 800

Total number of students = 800
