In an examination, 35% of the students passed and 455 failed.
How many students appeared for the examination?

Answer Posted / amruta

100 percent students appeared for exam
from which 35 % passed
which means (100-35) = 65% failed

No. of students failed = 455

65% = 455
then 35% = ?

so by cross multiplication

? = (455/65)* 35

? = 245
so we got 35% is 245
Therefore total no. of students appeared for the exam = 245+455 = 700
