Practicing Success
In an examination, 45% of all the students who appeared are boys and the rest are girls. If 60% of the boys and 70% of the girls passed, then what is the percentage of students who failed? |
36 40 35.4 34.5 |
34.5 |
Let Total number of students = 100x Number of Boys = 45% of 100x = 45x Number of girls = 100x - 45x = 55x = 65.5x Percentage of failed students = \(\frac{34.5x}{100x}\) × 100 = 34.5 % |
