Question

In an examination, 96% of the students passed and 500 failed. How many students
appeared at the examination?​

Answer 1

Answer:

4% failed

as 4% is 500

96% is 1875

thus, total is 1875+500=2375

Answer 2

12500 students appeared in the examination

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of students passed = 96%

Percentage of students failed = 100%-96% = 4%

Let the total no. of students be x

No. of students failed = $\frac{4}{100} \times x$

We are given that 500 students failed

So,$\frac{4}{100} \times x = 500\\\\\frac{500 \times 100}{4}=x\\12500=x$

Hence 12500 students appeared in the examination
