Step-by-step explanation:

No . of students = 54

No . of students passed = 48

No . of students failed = 6

   Percentage of students failed

                                              =  6/54 * 100

                                              =   11.11 %

Answer 2

Answer:

11.(1) or 11.11

Step-by-step explanation:

100/54=1.(851)*48=88.(8)

100-88.(8)=11.(1) or 11.11

(in case you're confused, in math the brackets around a decimal mean repeating)

(Also, you use 100 because that is the total percent, you use 54 because that is how many students there are, and you use 48 because that is how many passed.)
