Question

Out of 2400
students of a school
only 60% passed. How many students
,
failed.?​

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer is 960 students

Step-by-step explanation:

total students in the school = 2400

students passed(%) = 60%

students passed in numbers = 60/100 x 2400     (percentage to number)

=  3/5 x 2400

(dividing by 5)

= 3 x 408

= 1440 students passed

students failed = 2400 - 1440

                         = 960 students

Answer 2

Question :

Out of 2400 students of a school only 60% passed. How many students failed.?

Answer :

$\sf\pink{Given}$

• Total number of students is 2400

• Percentage of passed students is 60%

$\sf\pink{to\:find}$

• Failed students = ?

Explanation :

First we need to find the number of passed students .

Failed students = $\bf{\dfrac{60}{100}\times 2400}$

$\longrightarrow\bf{60\times 24}$

$\longrightarrow\bf{1440}$

• Number of passed students is 1440

Number of failed students = Total students - Number of passed students

$\longrightarrow\bf{2400 - 1440}$

$\longrightarrow\bf{960}$

• Therefore number of failed students is 960
