Question

Q)in an examination, 96% of students passed and 500 students failed. How many students did appear at the examination?

Answer 1

Answer:

12500 students appeared for exam

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose X students appeared for exam out of which 96% passed.

Hence 4% failed the exam. Now these 4% students are 500.

Therefore,

4% of total students = 500

4% of x = 500

4x/100 =500

x = 500 * 100/4

x = 500 * 25

x = 12500.

Answer 2

Answer:

no. of students who failed= 4%

let the total no. of students be x

x * 4/100=500

x=500*100/4

x=12500

total no.of students=12500
